I was looking to add Web Hosting Talk to Hosting Hoopla due to a lot of folks asking for it. I mean, why shouldn’t they? It is one of the biggest set of Web hosting forums out there. Today I finally got around to talking to Web Hosting Talk support to ask them if they have an RSS feed or not. Here is what they had to say:
You’ll find what you need to know in this thread.
So I checked out that thread. Did I find an answer to my question? No. If you read through that thread it says that it used to be for premium members only, but now there aren’t any new premium member sign-ups, but there was no final work from anybody from Web Hosting Talk there.
Taking Hosting Hoopla out of the picture, I think charging folks to get access to the RSS feed isn’t very good business practices. I mean, you are telling folks, “I know you really want to keep up to date with us and come back to the Web site but if you don’t pay us money, we aren’t going to make that easy for you”.
I’ve asked for more details, so I’ll let you know if I ever get a feed out of them.
