When it comes to shared web hosting, there are many options available in the market. In this post, we will compare three popular providers: Fastcomet, HostGator, and Blue Host. By the end of this comparison, you will be convinced why Fastcomet is the best choice for your website hosting needs.

Fastcomet is a reliable and fast web hosting provider known for its exceptional customer support. They offer a range of plans to choose from, including shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers. One of the biggest advantages of Fastcomet is that their shared hosting plans allow you to install Python, Node, and other similar applications, which is not possible with many other shared hosting providers. This makes Fastcomet an ideal choice for developers and businesses that require more flexibility and control over their hosting environment. They also provide a user-friendly control panel, daily backups, free SSL certificates, and 24/7 customer support via live chat, phone, and email.

HostGator is another popular provider that offers shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers. They have a simple control panel and offer 24/7 customer support, but the quality of support is not as good as Fastcomet. Their shared hosting plans do not allow you to install Python, Node, or other similar applications, so you would need to upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server package. This makes HostGator more expensive for those who need these capabilities.

Blue Host is a well-established web hosting provider that offers shared hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers. They have a user-friendly control panel and offer 24/7 customer support. However, they are known for having frequent outages and slow loading times. They also don't offer daily backups like Fastcomet does. Furthermore, Blue Host's shared hosting plans do not allow you to install Python, Node, or other similar applications, so you would need to upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server package.

In conclusion, Fastcomet stands out from HostGator and Blue Host in terms of flexibility, reliability, customer support, and features offered. Their shared hosting plans allow you to install Python, Node, and other similar applications, making them the best choice for developers and businesses that need more control over their hosting environment. With Fastcomet, you can rest assured that your website will be fast, secure, and always up and running.

The limited launch is designed to "gain a deeper understanding" of what customers are looking for.

But the company also said the free-to-use version of the platform would also remain.

New terms of use for eBay have come into effect which mean the online auction house will now pay sellers directly rather than through PayPal.

PayPal was acquired by eBay in its early days in 2002, and the two firms have worked in partnership ever since.

The changes mean that while eBay buyers can still pay with PayPal, sellers will be paid straight into their bank accounts.

But some sellers have threatened to stop using the service over the move.

EBay's forums have several posts from sellers who say they are reluctant to use the new system and give eBay direct debit access to their personal bank accounts.

But the new terms, effective from 1 June, say the new "managed payments" system is compulsory, and the company has the power to limit or remove listings from sellers who refuse to use it.

The company says the new system is simpler, convenient, and gives buyers more payment options - and the rollout will be gradual.

Clearview AI, a US firm with a database of three billion facial images from the internet, is facing a new legal challenge from privacy campaigners.

Privacy International and others argue its methods of collecting photos and selling them to private firms and the police "go beyond what we could ever expect as online users".
Clearview has said is has no contracts with any EU-based customers.

It said it had complied with requests to remove images of EU citizens.

Under GDPR rules, European citizens can ask the company if their faces are in its database and request that their biometric data is no longer included in searches.

Five such requests were submitted by privacy campaigners.
"We have voluntarily processed the five data access requests in question, which only contain publicly available information, just like thousands of others we have processed," said Clearview.
It added that it had "helped thousands of law enforcement agencies across America save children from sexual predators, protect the elderly from financial criminals, and keep communities safe."

It said that national governments had expressed "a dire need for our technology" to help investigate crimes such as money laundering and human trafficking.

'Plain wrong'
The legal challenge, supported by the Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Rights, Homo Digitalis and noyb was submitted to data regulators in France, Austria, Italy, Greece and the UK.

The New-York-based start-up uses an automated image scraping tool to collect any images containing human faces that it detects on the web. These are run through its facial recognition software and stored on a database, access to which is sold on to private companies and law enforcement agencies.

"Clearview seems to misunderstand the internet as a homogeneous and fully public forum where everything is up for grabs," said Lucie Audibert, a legal officer at PI. "This is plainly wrong. Such practices threaten the open character of the internet and the numerous rights and freedoms it enables."

"Just because something is online does not mean it is fair game to be appropriated by others in any way which they want to - neither morally nor legally," said Alan Dahi, data protection lawyer at noyb.
"Data protection authorities need to take action and stop Clearview and similar organisations from hoovering up the personal data of EU residents," he added.

Prof Alan Woodward, a computer scientist at Surrey University, said the case will open a complicated legal debate "about who owns images placed online and how possible it is to enforce any rights if the images are taken across a national boundary".
And there will be more fundamental questions about whether Clearview is invading privacy "by using these images in their database to enable government agencies to identify individuals", he said.

Californian opt-out

Clearview AI is no stranger to controversy and has faced a flurry of legal challenges.

The UK and Australian data regulators launched a joint probe last year, while Sweden has fined its national police authority for using the firm's technology to identify people.

In February, Canada's federal privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien ended a year-long investigation into the firm, concluding that it collected images without user knowledge or consent and demanding that it delete photos of Canadians from its database. During the investigation, Clearview announced it would no longer operate in Canada.

In the US, the American Civil Liberties Union is pursuing a lawsuit against the company in Illinois while Californian data laws mean users in the state can opt out of having their data sold, via a form on Clearview's website.

The firm came to prominence in January 2020 when a New York Times investigation revealed its business practices.

Shortly afterwards, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube demanded that Clearview stop collecting images from its platforms.

The business has deals with hundreds of police forces in the US.
