No Thanks, FirstHosting

The following comment popped up in my moderation queue this morning, which I promptly marked as spam:

Really, FirstHosting? Really? You’ve resorted to spamming on blog entries to try and promote your company? If you need new clients that badly, try some other form of advertisement campaign that doesn’t involve spamming potential clients as that is never a way to attract business. But if spam is the only way for you to get word about your company out there, at least use proper grammatical mechanics. Spaces after commas and periods are a necessity, you know.

I already have a list of hosts I do not recommend whenever my friends ask for advice about buying hosting and FirstHosting just got added to it. Sucks for them.

ETA: FirstHosting claims that the spam comments are “fake and part of a campaign” against the company. Until they can prove that by providing IP addresses that do not match with that of the spam commentator’s (I believe Hannah has asked them about IPs), I remain unconvinced.
