They list "static IP address" as a feature to all hosting packages.

What is SiteStudio? This: http://www.psoft.net/SS/site_studio_info.html ? It looks like a point-and-click web design/management application. There must be a way to disable it for particular accounts.

The host is energizedhosting.com

Now that I'm home I can give you the exact quote of their explanation:

Quote: Mike,

The "poll" directory is actually a directory being used for SiteStudio serverwide. You will need to rename the "poll" directory.

If you want to see an example, click my name in my signature and then go to guestbook. It was not an autoinstalled script that came from cPanel or anything but some error message comes up instead of what used to be there. Same sort of things on my other sites too.

Well here's something else odd that may tie into all this. Go to the IP address 205.234.146.210 and you'll see my personal website pop up. I don't know much about servers but every other host I've been with, you needed to add /~username to see somebody's website. I find this fact odd too.

If everybody agrees that something ain't right then I'd like to point out this message thread to my new hosting company.

Thanks.

It sounds odd.

These existing directories, are they being used by pre-installed scripts? Many hosts offer this but normally turn the scripts off by default. If you can disable them, the directories should be free for you to use.

I can't possibly see how their use of the same directory name could affect you. Surely they're kept in different spaces or folders at least.

That is very weird, what hosting company is it?

The only thing I can think of is maybe they are sharing the same IP for different domains and it has difficulties mapping out????
