Weird request, and a bit off topic, but I asked for help over at the Adsense forum about ad placement at my website. A SitePoint user tried to help, but for some reason cannot access my website from France.
A number of web hosts are in fact blocked from access in France. I had a similar issue four or five years ago where the hosting provider I was using at the time had another client who got the entire provider banned from French ISP’s. Their government fully encourages this practice of per site censorship and has a list of over a thousand providers who they actively block… In fact, they are generally no better than China on the subject.
Or America if the RIAA ends up having it’s way in Congress.
Still strange. The site in question is hosted at HostGator and has nothing even remotely questionable on it. Doesn’t seem like a candidate for being blocked, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.
