Wassup Jose Weblog nonsense at its best!

Hosts File Gotcha

If you are using a hosts file to block ads, banners, cookies, etc. and are experiencing issues with GoDaddy Webmail, listen up. Does the Webmail client render incorrectly? If so, it might be because you are blocking the GoDaddy image server.

Check your hosts file for imagesak.secureserver.net. If you are blocking the host, comment it out and try again. The host is widely associated with the GoDaddy parking service, but it also serves key files used by Webmail and other GoDaddy pages. End PSA.
