The digital version of the newest Ping! Zine magazine is out (paper version coming to a mail box near you soon!) and I have one new article this time around.
In this issue I tackled moving from web host to web host. What you need to do before, during and after the transition when changing web hosting companies.

I told you about my plans a project just a few days back, and now I have just finished things up. The Best of the Web Hosting Show Guides is a collection of some of the most popular guides I have posted and talked about here on the Web Hosting Show podcast.
Unlike other eBook deals, you get an extra perk with this setup. You can download both the digital eBook version, or head over the the official page for it and pick up all five chapters as audio downloads too. I wanted to give to you the best of both worlds. The topics covered in the eBook cover all aspects of the web hosting world:
Download the PDF and let me know what you think. Also as far as distribution goes, please feel free to share the link to download it to anybody and everybody you know. This is a project of mine I have been working on getting together for some time now and I want everybody to know it is free of charge.
To tune in to the Web Hosting Show, be sure to check out WebHostingShow.com, subscribe to the RSS feed or add us to your iTunes podcast subscriptions.
I have another sub-project under wraps for right now, but I’d like to explain things a ‘bit so I can get some feedback from you.
I have had the idea for some time now to wrap up some of the full length guides (maybe four or five of them) from the Web Hosting Show podcast, and turn them into a short eBook. Then, when you are downloading - you could pick up the eBook to read or you could have the option to go listen to that “chapter” via the past podcast.
Then later on down the road, if this project is a success I would like to do a few volumes of the same, maybe after four or five guides later on. My outlook on this is I’d like to help and get the help in the hands of those who need it in anyway that I can. Since another eBook as been “in the cards” for me for a while, figured this might be the best of both worlds.
What do YOU think?
Today I’ve decided I will no longer be the self proclaimed “media rock star of the web hosting world“. After thinking about it long and hard - I’ve decided to become a real rock star. Plans are already in place for me to give up on web hosting and data centers to tour with a band of midgets that some-what look like Kiss (but aren’t due to copyright issues).
I want to thank those in the hosting world that welcomed me in with open arms. Now I look forward to do the same with my new band mates, I’ll just have to work with shorter arms this time around. Look for us touring in a location near you!
I am always in search of new and different free hosting setups from all around the Web. One of the most recent to catch my eye has been Filego.net. The maximum file size you can upload is 50 MB - and I couldn’t really find much as far as bandwidth limits go. With time limits your file will stay hosted as long as somebody downloads it at least once every 30 days.
Here are some of the benifits they mention on their web site:
With content limitations, looks like they really don’t have any. You could upload anything as long as it isn’t copyrighted material. Well worth a first or second look if your looking for a free file host and you can find them at Filego.net.
Feeling like I should go touch up a few older projects of mine, HostingHoopla.com has gotten a major upgrade and refocusing. Hosting Hoopla is now the best “link blog” the web hosting industry has ever seen.
Has the hosting business seen any others? Shh.. don’t steal my thunder.
I’ll be putting up links there on a day to day basis, combing through the press releases and neat web development resources to find the best of the best for all of you. With each link I pass your way I’ll give you a quick description and let you sort of know my feelings about it. I guess you could say it is a kind of extension from the Web Hosting Show podcast. Just think of it like WebHostingShow.com but without all the text and podcasts getting in the way.
Of course you can subscribe via the RSS feed or even get daily e-mail updates. Don’t forget the mobile device friendly version of the Hosting Hoopla link list as well. Many ways to take in the hosting goodness.
Feel free to let me know what you like, what you don’t like, what you need and what you want. I am totally open to suggestions, just send them my way.
