Hello WA family,
Browsing through older WA questions about the topic and around the web, I've come to see people going for different domain services like GoDaddy, hostgator,
Looks like you got some responses from some top people here at WA. I don't know if you got the answer you wanted, but I think Kat gave you the best one, basically ".l..as many reasons as there are members". I have this feeling that answer isn't going to satisfy your inquisitive mind, but that really is the answer. Keep the inquisitive mind working Johnny and you will going a long way in this community. Good luck guy.
I've been with HostGator for about 10 years (long before I came to WA) and I've got used to having a cPanel and File Manager and creating my own domain specific email addresses. My son shares the HostGator account and he uses HTML as well as WordPress. For anyone just starting out the hosting at WA is great and very secure. ~Marion
I didnt relize that I need a domain till I was on lesson 7 and setting up
my website. Its o.k. though, I wanted to chage my niche anyways. Thanks for that commet.
I've heard a lot about other domains but really don't know much about them, so since I joined WA I am using what they offer, I feel that Kyle and Carson know what they are doing since they have been here from the beginning. Just my thoughts...are they worth 2 cents....maybe?
I do believe Kyle and Carson are very knowledgeable and you will learn much by being a part of WA.
Personally, I am perfectly happy with the WA hosting. The WA technical support and the monitoring they do is worth the monthly subscription in itself. All the best.
I tuned into this one because I wanted to read the answers. I have had websites on Hostgator, Bluehost and GoDaddy, but working my blogsites with WordPress convinced me to start over because I was NOT getting 5000 traffic a day elsewhere. I'll stay here until I can see what some of you are talking about.... :-)
WA's hosting is good and is probably the best for those who are starting out. It is managed hosting on fast secure servers. I already had hosting elsewhere that worked for me. I have one site on WA and the others remain on the old hosting.
If you like to experiment with different plugins for effects and want to have access to cpanel then WA may not be for you. I also like to have access to my file manager. I can do things on my old hosting that I cannot do here. If I need to go in and change something I can do it on my old hosting but have to wait for support to do it for me here or perhaps it is not even allowed.
We are all different with different needs. Unless you really want to play around in the backend and maybe break things in the process you are better off to stay with WA's hosting. They will manage it for you...but you must play by their rules.
right!
... those are probably the only reasons I'd go with a different host.
Sometimes I'd really like to use some API's thru WA (not possible), but I understand the reasoning behind it - security.
My reason for an other provider could be just to see what the competition offers. I don't know for the other reason right now.
That'd be great. But with 5000 traffic a day I meant over 5000 visitors per day on your website.
In my case I already have established hosting before I came to wealthy affiliate's and I didn't see any reason to change it
Same here. I've been with Host Gator for years. It works for me with very little down time and great support.

Why would one use different hosting & domain services?

Hello WA family,
Recently, after learning through all the courses and building my own website, I have been noticing the little details on other sites I browse from time to
Good question, but I have no clue but It looks like nocare may have answered your question...
Using javascript, check if an ad has been modified sometime after page load. If it has, restore the ad or inject the placeholder.
You will need to look into how adblock is modifying the markup and handle accordingly.
There has been a wave of sites subverting adblock (re-adding ads) lately so this solution likely won't last super long.
Alternatively, and this is only a theory... You could have your site load your placeholder by default, and after a length of time inject your ad. Causing your ad to skip adblock's own ad detection. I have no idea if adblock does anything after the page is already loaded however.
-- edit: For those wondering what adblock is, it's a browser plugin that hides undesirable ads on webpages, for more reasons than ads simply being annoying.
My website is not ready to go live yet. Is this something I should worry about yet or wait till I have a live website? I'm on lesson 8 of bootcamp first phase.
No not likely. The number of people actively using it is far lower than the amount of people not. Especially when you consider just how much mobile web browsing people do now.
Ad revenue is small compared to what you can earn by having quality content aimed at selling a product, such as to become your referral here.
If you plan on hosting and delivering costly content like video then I say go ahead and explore guilt-tripping your users lol.

Dear WA family,
I've been trying to get the Facebook Like box to work on my sidebar, but can't figure it out for the life of me!
Almost every tutorial on the intern
Hello Johnny. I just tested the code using your theme, it works just fine in a Text widget. Try a few things for me and please forgive me if I give you steps that you have already tried; I'm not sure how familiar you are with WordPress.
1. Did you paste both pieces of code in the same Text widget? They should go together. And be sure that you are pasting the code in the Right Sidebar.
2. I also noticed you are using different layouts, it will only show on pages that have a content-sidebar layout.
3. Are you using a caching plugin? Try clearing the cache.
4. If you have an ad blocker, temporarily disable it, just to make sure that's not why you are not seeing it.
5. If that still doesn't work and you are using WA hosting, contact WA Support, show them this thread with the code, and make sure connect.facebook isn't being blocked. Here's the link for support: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support
I hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out.
Thank you for your reply, unfortunately it's not working and yes I purposely set different layouts for pages & posts. Posts being the ones with a right sidebar.
But it's not working, I figure you have to do something with the Javascript SDK in the "<body>". I don't really know what that means. Do I have to use the theme Editor and put the first code there? If so, then I still don't really know where or how.
Oh it's fixed! All I had to do was to put BOTH codes in the box. I feel so dumb now... Though, they never never specified that either.
So I had to just put the first code wherever I like to have any other FB social plugin code available to appear anywhere I want, basically.
Sweet. So I hit it on the head with my first suggestion. I'm glad you got it working. Take care man.

WA is best and secure hosting for me.
