I will try to get in touch with H-Sphere support to find out how to change the setting. You should, at least, have more reasonable settings running on your webalizer reports now, which should keep your own site out of the referrers list. I did some performance tweaking on the web server today. We've been experiencing a problem where the server "plays dead," and doesn't respond to network requests. This was caused by a built-in FreeBSD kernel option that restricts the number of simultaneous connections. I have adjusted the option to allow more connections (and more than Apache should generally permit at any time), so that under extremely heavy load, the server should not ignore my attempts to log in and manage it.</div>
