More Web hosting fun than you can shake a stick at, the Web Hosting Show is back on the air this week and boy did we have a lot to talk about. Everything from wind powered Web hosting to some of my own media appearances were covered and so much more. Make sure you go check out the show notes and get the MP3 for episode 17 over at the Web Hosting Show’s Web site!

Just as a sampler to get you wanting more, here is this week’s world famous Web hosting tip of the week!

This week’s Web hosting tip is for the Web hosts out there especially. I guess it could be said about any business out there today, but since the inspiration for it came from my article in the current issue of Ping! Zine I want Web hosts to listen extra carefully. The tip is to add a set of forums to your company’s Web site.

Forums are a good way of adding a new way for your customers to communicate with you and other customers about their hosting problems and experiences. You could set up a set of forums to update folks when there will be a problem with one of the servers, so they can follow along as you fix the issue. You could create a set of community forums where people can gather and just talk about their ever day lives. The most important set of forums you’ll need though is a set that offers support. You could do so by having your staff post articles about Web hosting problems that come up most often.

You could have a place where customers can ask other customers about problems with things you can not or will not support. The key thing to remember is to create the forums. I promise you that if you build it, they will indeed come.
