Correction to the MVPS HOSTS file
Posted on January 3rd, 2008 by hostsnews
I’ve uploaded a fresh copy of the HOSTS file due to making a correction to one of the entries …
www.interactivebrands.com
Corrected entry:
127.0.0.1 www.interactivebrands.com
Not really that critical, but I wanted to advise anyone that happened to notice …

I’d like to point out to you the following
ad servers that seem to be missing from your
otherwise EXCELLENT Hosts File:
as.nu.nl (ad server for nu.nl, most popular Dutch news site)
ebayrtm.com (ads on ebay)
rcm.amazon.com (ads by amazon on blogs, eg economicsbriefing.com)
www-google-analytics.l.google.com
(included in pgl.yoyo ad server list, not mentioned under Google Inc on MVPS Hosts list)
Last but not least, I have noticed a lot of
ads or links to ‘buysub.com’ that have popped up everywhere. Example:
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/241101
has top ad where the link location is:
http://m1.buysub.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PackageAddCmd?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&categoryId=11985&URL=CartCheckoutView&quantity=1&catEntryId_0=19482&field1_0=1&sourcekey=I1DNZBBA
A regular query of http://www.buysub.com does not yield a website. I have come across several
other references on the web. I have been unable
to find background information on this particular domain.
May I also add that 207.net popped up a survey
on msnbc.msn.com, indicating that not all 207.net activities are covered by the current
host file. I have no details on this unfortunately. Hopefully you will include the
abovementioned in a future update of your Hosts
File. Thank you.
