Time to open that proverbial Web hosting newspaper to see what all the hosting gurus around the world are talking about. I use a very complicated measurement of buzz to find the most important stories of the week. It involves lottery balls, midgets and other scientific stuff. Now that I have done all the heavy lifting, I can share with you the spoils of my hard work.
Web Hosting Talk Redesigned – One of the most popular set of forums on hosting has been given a new look. If you haven’t navigated your way towards WebHostingTalk.com recently, you really should give it a look. It has a cleaner feeling to it, doesn’t feel as cluttered as it used to be. They have also added a news section, where they are putting stories taken from the WHIR in there. Looks like they might be trying to develop more “portal-like” features to keep people staying there and to bring new people into the fold. All in all, I give it two freaky thumbs up.
cPanel Training Seminar 2007 – Panel will be hosting their second annual Training Seminar in beautiful Houston, Texas on May 30 – June 1, 2007. Last year’s seminar was a success with their partners, and direct customers learning in depth technical details about cPanel software and facilitating open dialog between technical support representatives and developers from cPanel. For more information about the event, check out cPanel’s Web site at cPanel.net.
Geek Certified Goes Up for Sale – This is a story that could go three ways. It could end in a really good result, a really bad result or no real change at all. One of the more popular “host certification” Web sites, GeekCertified.com is going up for sale. I’d buy it, but last time I checked I don’t have much venture capital cash laying around the Web Hosting Show headquarters. It should be a good resource for whoever gets to add it to their portfolio.
Have hosting or Web development news you’d like to share with the masses? Let me give the midgets and lottery balls a break and send ‘em my way to mitch@mitchkeeler.com.
