Hello and welcome to the Web Hosting Show, the one and only voice of the Web Hosting World. The Web Hosting Show is brought to you by the fine folks over at Web Hosting Chat. Web Hosting Chat is your number one place for Web hosting discussions. Who am I? I am the slightly sunburned, Mitch Keeler.
Did you miss me last week? I am really sorry for my absence, but I just ran out of time to get everything done. Over the Fourth of July I had a lot of friends and family to see and visit with, and the Web Hosting Show just kind of got passed to the back burner. I am back here now though, and I am ready to get back to business. I am ready to rock the Web hosting world like it has never been rocked before. Most importantly, I am here to help you, one on one with your toughest Web hosting questions.
Do you think we should add a Skype voice mail to the Web Hosting Show? This way you guys and gals could leave me short audio questions, feedback, comments or complaints and I could get them onto the show. If you are interested in seeing this on the show, then send me an E-mail, leave a comment about it or go to the Web Hosting Show forums and post about it. I don’t want to move forward with this unless there is a REAL interest about it from the public so… let me know!
Enough jibber-jabber though, let us get right back into those beautiful Web hosting headlines I love so much.

Web Hosting Tip of the Week
Every so often you just need a quick nugget of knowledge. The Web hosting tip of the week is brought to you by Mitchelaneous. Mitchelaneous is my own personal writing space where I go one on one with you everyday with some of my Web hosting articles, random postings and updates on my current projects.
When moving from one Web hosting company to another, make sure you look for special deals your new Web host might be offering. Now I don’t mean the usual sales jargon of unlimited this or that. Some Web hosting companies will move your Web site for you, as long as they can get the information that they need.
This could be very helpful for those folks out there who have a really big Web site they want to move, but don’t have a reliable enough way to get the moving done. Downloading and uploading massive amounts of files can be a real pain as well. So save yourself some trouble and find out if your new Web host will do the heavy lifting for you!

SEO and Hosting Multiple Site on one Hosting Plan
Here is a question I got last week from Shumon Hakim, a loyal Web Hosting Show listener:
First of all I love you podcast. Very informative for beginner web designers. I am trying to host multiple sites under one hosting plan. I don’t want to pay for a reseller package. Mainly because the sites are fairly small. I found a hosting service, micfo.com, that will allow me to host multiple sites under one hosting plan. What kind of effect will this have on SEO? Is it good to host multiple sites under one plan? How do robots see the sites? Do they see them as individual sites or one site?
Now I am far from being a search engine optimization expert, heck I don’t even play one on TV! As far as SEO goes though, it shouldn’t matter in your case, as long as the three separate Web sites have three separate domains. Spiders follow links, so if link A has nothing to do with link B, then it shouldn’t see it, even though they are both on the same Web hosting server.
Web Hosting Show on iTunes?
I am currently working on getting the Web Hosting Show included onto iTunes’s podcasting selection. I just submitted things yesterday, so hopefully it will not take too long to get our content there. Thanks to the folks at FeedBurner, getting the RSS feed ready for iTunes was quick and easy. Just filled in a few blocks of text, put in a picture, then submitted it inside of iTunes itself.

This week’s victim is Net Money Web from the BrowseHosts.com Forums. He has even been so nice as to give me a few questions to answer during this review, so here they are and here are my answers. Play along at home if you want to, and be sure to leave a comment if you have anything else to add to the Web Hosting Show forums or Show Notes!
1. What improvements should I make on layout from my website?
I have two helpful hints here for you. First things first, drop all the dollar signs from the Web page’s layout. That just makes things look a little more tacky and more like a spam Web site than a real one. The second helpful hint would be to get yourself a new logo. The one you have right now looks a little pixelated and stretched out. You want a logo that sticks in people’s heads. One that they will not soon forget.
2. What free, sample and easy scripts should I put on my website?
Not every Web site needs a cool script to get by. Here is an idea though, why not start a blog on the side for the Web site? Highlight some of the better programs there, and let us know why they are worth checking out.
3. What programs should I exclude from the site?
Give us programs that are proven to work. Plain and simple.
4. What programs should I include on the site?
One word. Scams.
I hope that helps! Creating a Web site to help folks make money is a good thing. The only problem I could see you running into is being looked at as a spamming or junk Web site and never be looked at again. You want to make sure you stay on the side of good. Remember that you are there to help people find good programs. Good luck, and if you find a quarter in your couch… feel free to send it my way!
Do you need some help with your Web site design? Would you like me to just let you know what it is you could do to make your Web presence that much better?
