So this post in about Hostgator stickers, just today i received my Hostgator stickers from Houston, TX USA. In white envelope. The sticker consists of simple Hostgator logo i.e. dragon eating “H” and HostGator.com written below it.

HostGator.com Laptop sticker

To get these sticker you just have to tweet about why you like HostGator (be sure to use the hashtag “#hgsticker”) and fill out the form at HostGator.com/sticker.php. and wait for stickers. Now i use HostGator so they sent me stickers, n i dont know how they will react to the people who dont use HostGator and still like it.

Check out my tweet about the Hostgator.

What ever… i am really impressed by HostGator they are just awesome.. from support to the quality of service and everything.. just awesome.

There servers are underpowered. They even cant face the traffic of 1000 Unique visitors per day !! . There database server is also very poor. My error_log file (present under root directory of your wordpress installation) was full with errors of database server. The errors were like “WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query” clearly notifying the power of there database servers.

So i decided to change the host servers, my friend Abhishek is using Hostgator service. I have seen the power of there host servers. They are good, and one of the most important fact was there support system. When my site was down at iWhic, there support system replied to my question after about 24Hrs and my account was restarted after 48Hrs.

Here at Hostgator the support system is really fast.Even i can now directly chat with support people if i have some urgent problem. Currently i shifted all my sites to hostgator and all are working superb with no tension of high CPU usages.Hostgator allows 25% of CPU usages for 90seconds. But as there servers are really high performance i never seen my CPU usages more than a percent.

Currently i am happy with the hostgator, lets see what happens in the future. Hope for the best and ready for the worst

Which host are you using ? are you happy with it ?

So to avoid this , there is just one setting in your wordpress setting panel,

Go to your WordPress Admin panel
Then navigate to Settings >> Discussion Settings .

So from now your comments will be on same page and hence no duplicate content problem. Read my post where i have given few more tricks to avoid duplicate content in wordpress else Google will punish your site.

UPDATE : Steve written a amazing post with some tweak to wordpress files, which allows you to break pages with number of comments without harming the SEO. Take a look at the post : Dealing With Duplicate Content Issues on WordPress Comments Pages. The post is giving information about the Canonical URL meta, which allows us to redirect the bot to specific page so to avoid the duplicate content problem.
If you need more information of Canonical URL read a post of Google webmaster blog
But still if you prefer not to edit the PHP files simply use the trick that i have mentioned here at my post.

UPDATE: If you are using All in one SEO pack , then no need to do any changes in your wordpress, it is automatically using Canonical meta to avoid duplicate content issue.

Happy blogging … Comments are welcome
