HostingCon 2007 Gets Going

I nearly forgot that HostingCon is getting started today. I wouldn’t really consider myself really excited, but it should be interesting to watch what sort of coverage comes from the event. I noticed over at Clickfire they will be covering the event. I also have a few friends that will be there as well.

How come I am skipping out on the event this year again?

Eh, it’s a long trip and I’m not sure how big the payoff might be. Right now I am happy to watch from the sidelines and see how many of the big hosting web sites cover it if they do so at all. HostingCon is the like the Super Bowl of the web hosting industry.

For more ideas on what you can expect to see and hear in the next week or so at HostingCon go back and check out my interview I did with HostingCon’s head honcho George Roberts on Web Hosting Show episode 110. For our post-HostingCon coverage I hope to get a few friend on the podcast again to talk about what they thought about the event. If you have anything to say, feel free to drop me a line about it.

 

Hostingcon on CD - Too Expensive?

Maybe this is just the cheap white boy coming out in me, but I think that paying $300 for a “Complete Conference CD Set” of Hostingcon 2006 is a little nuts. I’m not even sure I would pony up that much cash to go to the conference in person - let alone to hear it all on CD.

Want a cheap alternative? Go check out the Web Hosting Show podcast. There is more free audio and interviews there than you can shake a stick at. I won’t even charge you a penny to go listen to them.

To cut the Hostingcon guys a little credit, it does look like they have uploaded a free podcast for everybody to enjoy.
