# loopback workaround? – shared hosting

 * My Host, and I suspect a few others, do not allow HTTP loopbacks which as far
   as I can see means that I cannot have trackback or pingback (and possible update
   services) from my installations.
 * My question is whether there is a workaround for this – it must affect many people,
   and whether future upgrades will address this matter.
 * Many thanks
 * Alex

 * Don’t know of any workarounds. I would say if your host is not suited for WordPress
   then you should go with a different host. It’ll make your life easier.
