You are replying to my post and this is a threaded forum, not Twitter.

1) Provocative Title

If it bleeds it leads. And what would be a better title exactly?

2) Immediately references to a sketchy forum

WebHostingTalk is the biggest forum about webhosting in the world. It's pretty important if you work in that field.

3) affiliate link + ads

Welcome to the internet.

1) Provocative Title ---> As for a better title -- who knows.. the title: "Yes, You Can Run 18 Static Sites on a 64MB VPS" ---> it begs the question... "why wouldn't you be able to Run 18 Static Sites on a 64MB VPS?" -- So, you end up clicking on it. For this HN crowd - Im pretty sure that was going thru a lot of peoples head when they read the title.. (at least for me - but who knows)

2) Immediately references to a sketchy forum WebHostingTalk is the biggest forum about webhosting in the world. It's pretty important if you work in that field*

---> That's debatable. I've worked in the web hosting industry for a very long time and I almost never go to that forum unless, im baited to it.

3) affiliate link + ads Welcome to the internet. I've got nothing against affiliates, or ads... heck - affiliate marketing is a very important part of the internet marketing ecosystem. however, the very obvious absence of affiliates or ads on HN makes it a very nice place.

I don't want to start anything, but your tone comes across as pretty hostile. That kind of disrespect is more anathema to HN and worse for the community than an affiliate link contained on a linked page.
