Re: VPS/Gaming companies with backbone

I would be hesitant to include this kind of information if you don't
have a plan for keeping it recent and accurate - there's a real risk
your data will become stale quickly, at which point it stops being
useful to people.
Perhaps ask providers if you can subscribe to those, and automatically
parse their emails? Easier said than done, but it does provide much more
useful information than "hearsay"/pinging some server you do not control
that may or may not be on the other end of a specific link.
