 * Hi,
 * I’m having some trouble with my RSS Widgets on my blog ([http://thaipo.byethost31.com/](http://thaipo.byethost31.com/)).
   I’ve tested multiple RSS feed URL’s – here are some:
 * [http://feeds.feedburner.com/linuxquestions/latest](http://feeds.feedburner.com/linuxquestions/latest)
   
   [http://secunia.com/information_partner/anonymous/o.rss](http://secunia.com/information_partner/anonymous/o.rss)
   [http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/football/rss.xml](http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/football/rss.xml)
   [http://digg.com/rss/index.xml](http://digg.com/rss/index.xml)
 * None of them seem to be working.
    I get: “An error has occured; the feed is probably
   down. Try again later.”
 * I’ve tried reinstalling the widgets plugin and read many posts about this. I’m
   starting to think it might have to do with my host.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * I think I’ve narrowed down my problem. I’m pretty sure it has to do with my server(
   settings/features). I’ve tried multiple RSS syndication scripts that are ‘out-
   the-box’ and unrelated to WordPress and I’m getting the same problems. So I guess
   my question is now – what kind of requirements and/or settings do I need? I’ve
   tried multiple free hosting services like:
 * [http://www.byethost.com/](http://www.byethost.com/)
    [http://www.1111mb.com/](http://www.1111mb.com/)
   [http://www.110mb.com/index.php](http://www.110mb.com/index.php) [http://www.awardspace.com/](http://www.awardspace.com/)
 * and they’re all having the same results. What am I missing?

 * They’re all free hosts, that’s the clue.
 * I tried running blogs on 110mb & awardspace, gave up, went to ANHosting for all
   of $60 and it’s a revelation – you really have to do it.
 * The reason is simply down to the free hosts blocking certain server side actions
   which your plugins & widgets need to work – You can’t use akismet on Awardspace
   for example.
 * I’m just testing out WP 2.1 & some new themes on awardspace as I still have my
   old account, and I can’t edit the titles of the widgets for example – the dialog
   box is unclickable.
 * Go paid, you won’t regret it – I’ve made enough in 3 weeks of ‘paid posting’ 
   to cover 12 months hosting, so why not?
