It is time once again to get your weekly dose of the goodness that the Web Hosting Show has to offer you. I promise you it won’t fill you up, and you will have plenty of room for desserts. This week I wanted to do something a little different, so instead of the regular format, we are doing an all news episode. Ten hosting headlines to get your Web hosting week started right.
AuctionServices.com, a Web hosting provider for auction firms, announced it was recently recognized by the Virginia Auctioneers Association for outstanding contributions and support in 2005. The award was presented at the organization’s annual convention held in Richmond, Virginia last Saturday.
Nobody out there can say that getting awards is ever a bad thing. However I know nothing really about auctions so let me stick the Web hosting side of things. This just goes to show you what I have been saying for a while now. Specialized Web hosting solutions get attention. If I had my way, I’d like to see more specialized services roll out. It would also be nice to see the big players in the Web hosting industry branch off into specialized hosting services.
Managed Web hosting and security services provider DataPipe announced on Monday it has joined PBS.org to help deliver the online TV series, NerdTV.
For those of you who might not know about NerdTV, it has weekly one-hour interviews with a well-known movers and shakers from the tech world. I am happy to see a Web host get behind some of this new programing available out there today. Podcasts and Videocasts are not going away anytime soon. These are great new ways of finding specialized content you want to hear for little to no price at all.
Wisconsin based Web hosting provider SJR Hosting announced on Monday it has revamped its entire hosting structure, taking steps that include increasing the resources provided in its Web hosting plans, remodeling its support department and enhancing its server technology and hardware.
I know a few Web hosts who could do with a little spring cleaning on their Web hosting services. Some of the stuff SJR is doing includes free marketing credits, Web site and security monitoring, Web site load balancing and an increase to the number of domains allowed per hosting package.
