The pun was not intended. *smile*

I have used it since it was first recommended to me. It is brilliant. It
gives very gross insight into site traffic, we well security/trust (or
conversely risk) aspects, which is helpful to Windows users in particular. I
could go on, but it takes us off topic.

Some of the sites might be associated with or managed in other countries. It
is not uncommon for people to have sites hosted elsewhere. Mine, for
instance, is hosted by an Irish company. The list I was citing should
indicate which Web sites are managed by your host or reside on the very same
physical server. Some site exclusion rules (over in China) could be based on
IP addresses rather than domain names. Otherwise, you see, I could access a
page in my site using e.g.: 84.18.207.65/index.htm . I am merely guessing
here, but the only way to have a definite answer is to ask the Chinese ISP's
or the maintainers of the great Chinese (fire)wall.

Yes. When choosing a host, you will always be advised to stay away from pr0n,
gambling, pills and the like, hypothetically speaking. Linking to such
sites, receiving links from such sites or even possessing similar addresses
is cause for trouble. Search engines are believed to take this into account
as well. It's more of a guesstimate/rumour at this stage.
Best wishes,
Roy
