Aug/30 in All Posts, Interviews, Web Hosting Podcasts

Enterprise HostingDoing this podcast for two and a half years, I have gotten the chance to meet and talk with a lot of people inside of the hosting industry.

Out of them all – I’d have to say one of my favorites might be Alex McMillen of Sliqua Enterprise Hosting. We’ve been friends almost since I started this show – and he’s always been a big supporter of what I’ve tried to do and create here.

So with that said, I figured one good turn deserves another and finally got him tied down to doing an interview with me here on the Web Hosting Show.

Aug/28 in All Posts, Interviews, Web Hosting Podcasts

Canada Web HostingWhen you think of Canada – you often think of mounties, maple leafs and cold stuff.

After having the chance to talk with the man in charge over there, Gary Jones, I think they have many great things to offer and look forward to in the future.

Interview With a Host Searcher – Episode 113

Jul/09 in All Posts, Interviews, Web Hosting Podcasts

Host SearchThere are few web sites out here that can really say they are one of the cornerstones of the web hosting industry. When you mention such praise, you might think of The WHIR, Web Hosting Talk, and the like. I think HostSearch.com belongs in there as well.

On this podcast I was thrilled to get to have a sit down chat with Host Search’s Web Editor John Hughes. Because of the Web Hosting Show, I have known John for a few years as one of the public voices and go to guys for Host Search. He really is one of the “good guys” in the hosting industry.

Searching for a Web Host?Host Search is one of the most established, most influential and most widely respected web hosting directory on the Web. Just by viewing their front page you can see they tackle everything from hosting interviews, to news and discussions.

There is a lot of good quality content there for you to comb through no matter if you are a web hosting guru or just a guy that got his first web site. I like Host Search because it is a resource everybody can get something out of.

Interview with Mr Press Release – Episode 112

Jun/25 in All Posts, Interviews, Web Hosting Podcasts

If I was to sum this show up in one sentence it would have to go something like this. Hosting gossip has nothing on iPhone domain hype while I talk with Dan Garon about the art of press release writing.

I think that just about covers it. Now while I start to filter out the e-mails I’m already starting to get from English teachers from around the world you listen to this episode of the Web Hosting Show.
