Well I decided to do something a little different this week. Instead of doing a regular episode of the Web Hosting Show, I decided since it is almost the end of the year, I should do a “best of” episode. I’ve been “on the air” since February 2005 so I think I have more that enough content to keep you happy. So this week, join me in my walk down memory lane as I look at some of the best (and maybe some of the worst) segments I produced in 2005.

Well, my Bandwidth 101 Video Tutorial from the Web Hosting Show has finally made it’s way to Google. Check it out! Google’s video search makes a nice backup for some the video content I’ve featured on the Web Hosting Show. I just wish they would get things up and running a little quicker.

Over the past week or so, I might have been a little too mean to the folks over at GoDaddy. That’s right, the company that has yet to return any of my previous E-mails has reached out to me by sending one of their own. As a mater of fact, before I had time to check my E-mail I got a phone call about it from GoDaddy as well. It seems like my complaints about the GoDaddy’s control panel experience didn’t fall on deaf ears.

Are there anymore blogging engines for Yahoo to make deals with? At least they can say they have the two biggest players covered now. Now if you have a Yahoo small business account, it looks like you have a choice of either picking Movable Type as your back end or Wordpress. I’ve got to say that Yahoo’s Web hosting is looking better and better every single day.
The funniest thing about all of this, is I heard about it on Blogebrity first. Not usually my first source for Web hosting news, but hey… sometimes the best stories aren’t always at the obvious places.

“Web hosting provider and domain registrar Go Daddy announced on Tuesday that it would add blogging capabilities free with every domain registration, transfer or renewal.” (link via The WHIR)
Okay, so the “blogging capabilities” aren’t exactly free right off the bat, but it should interesting to see how they are run and how popular they become. With Yahoo and Six Apart’s recent deal, will Web hosts pay more attention to the blogging trend?
In my opinion, this is something that should have been done about five years ago. Then again, when it comes to following innovative movements, Web hosts are more like a retarded duck trying to fly with one wing. It just ain’t happening, and if it does… it feels like a miracle has just taken place.

So what Web sites out there today are the fastest growing ones? Apple is number one on the list, being followed by Google and Amazon. How about the fastest growing Web brands? Photobucket seems to be leading the charge in that department. I can’t say that any of these Nielsen/NetRatings list surprise me, but they are an intresting read.
