Hi!

I have recently acquired http://www.insurance-insurance-insurance.com and although I have paid my money to Entireweb for fast registration they are not listing this domain. Any other domain I register with them shows up on the search engines within hours.

Although I have emailed them I have not had a reply. I suspect that the domain became available because the previous owner got it blacklisted. Does anybody know at what address the blacklist register is and if it is possible to get the domain removed from the list now it is in new ownership?

It may not be a domain blacklist. When I checked your server, this is what came back. You may want to contact your hosting company first:

Warning - Cloaked or Virtual IP site detected
Some search engines will penalize Cloaked or Virtual IP sites

64.21.168.125 has no reverse DNS entry; some mail servers may not accept your mail.

AltaVista states "If being found via search engines is important to your business, be very careful about where you have your pages hosted. If the hosting service also hosts spammers and pornographers, you could wind up being penalized or excluded simply because the underlying IP address for that service is the same for all the virtual domains it includes."

nigelc,
Here is a good Domain Blacklist Checker (PR7):

Hope this helps,
