Hosting Podcast | Ajax Tools

Nov/21 in Odds & Ends

It seems like this was a big week for Ajax development and Web hosting. There were two new tools that caught my attention this week on the Web Hosting Show which I thought I would share with you. There is no denying the fact that there are a lot of good things coming from the Ajax development world these days. These are the first two I have seen that have dealt with the Web hosting industry though.

SQLFusion announced the release of the first online site building application ever built with “AJAX” technology. This online web site builder, called Drag Drop Site Creator, is available at dragdropsitecreator.com. It is intended primarily for web hosting companies, which offer Drag Drop Site Creator as an additional service to their hosting customers.

Well maybe I am a little quick to say nothing good has come out of the Web hosting world as far as innovations go. I had the folks at SQLFusion drop me an E-mail earlier this week asking me to take a look at the new Drag and Drop Site Creator and I have to say, I am really impressed. With tools like this getting better and better, Web site designers might soon be a think of the past!

It seems like a lot of folks were happy with the domain name tool I featured on last week’s show, so I figured I’d go ahead and feature another one I found. This one goes into the Ajax and Web 2.0 category as well.

You can find it at ajaxwhois.com. What is it? Why it is another domain name lookup tool. Just type in the domain name you want, and it will do a real time search. The thing this one has over last week’s pick, is it isn’t limited to just .net or .com names.

The fun doesn’t stop there. You can also set it to do Whois searches on the fly. Just type in the domain name you want to find more information about. Another free, new and innovative domain name tool for you to use! Once again, I recommend you at least give it a shot at ajaxwhois.com.
