    Is Everything OK at Hi Hosting?

    Just to update this, Dan has just replied to our support request on the 8/12/25. I'm not going to go into details about what was said, but tbh I'm pretty upset about the tone used. To confirm RE IPS tags: Their WHMCS was down, so we were unable to change the IPS tag (if that's even possible...

    So, still no reply, so this is a warning.

    Is Everything OK at Hi Hosting?

    I think if it was bought out I would expect the new owners to notify customers and merge hosting and user accounts with their own platforms.

    Is Everything OK at Hi Hosting?

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone is still using or heard from HiHosting? Dan isn't replying to emails or support tickets - the member account is inaccessible but cPanel is fine. A client recently got in touch and would like to move their site and domain away from HiHosting. The site...

    Yoast Premium & Canonical Tag Help Please

    That's correct. You don't. I don't. But people who aren't interested in adding in php code to their template files will.

    Yoast Premium & Canonical Tag Help Please

    Oh yes, I totally agree. The traffic light thing is nonsense, and the focus keyword is misleading. Forgot about them!

    Yoast Premium & Canonical Tag Help Please

    Yoast is great, despite what some people say. It does add self-referencing canonicals unless you change them in the meta box yourself. Canonicals are necessary for certain pages; titles and meta descriptions are not 'all you need'. You may also need an hreflang editor. You may wish to noindex...

    And I am often the first to point this out. But that's also why it's important to note the distinction between 'sharing' a post and 'reposting' one.

    'Damaged' may be overstating things, as we have since discussed the matter with the SMM of said celebrity.

    Before this goes any further, it’s important to note here the difference between sharing and reposting an image. With the former, it is expected that this is a perfectly legal way of increasing exposure. With the latter you are using an image owned by somebody else without their permission...

    Apologies, I said reposted, when I meant to say shared. We shared their original post, and they asked us to take it down. So we took it down.

    I should note here that we don’t normally take on social media management, hence why there was some confusion. We temporarily took over control of a client’s account while they found another manager.

    Ok, that makes sense. Thank you.

    It was reposted on Instagram, where they originally posted it. In my original post I offered limited information, to see what kind of response I would get. Now I’m offering more. I didn’t expect such a response, to be frank. Anyway, it’s fine to say that, if there is a clear line here. But...

    Celebrity Social Media Photos

    :D It was a client's fitness product. The celebrity is one of the top F1 drivers. We reposted initially after seeing their post with many of our products in the picture, tagging them. Then a member of their SM team got back to us asking us to take down the image. I couldn't see why, as they...
