podcast about web hosts and web hosting topics
The title tag might be a feature many people overlook, but it is just as important as having a nice looking web site layout. Some might even say it is the most important thing, because it is often the first thing a web site visitors sees. Today I’ll be telling you what the title tag is and what you can do to make yours better.
Over the past few weeks, I have been doing a lot of looking around at web sites I run, and asking myself, “What can I do to make this web site better?”. Well, after some experiments, trial and error, I have a few solutions I want to share with you.
Today I’ll hand to you four areas of your web site you can improve to get more web site visitors, have the search engines love you, and get more visitors to your web site, right here on the Web Hosting Show.

When it comes to web hosting for podcasts, a lot of this specialized hosting field has yet to be figured out. Sure, you have your specialized plugins, content management systems made for podcasting, and a better understanding of it around the world. When push comes to shove though, which is better, hosting everything from one place, or splitting your web hosting up between a shared host and a specialized audio hosting service?
That is just about the question Charley posed to me the other day:
In your opinion, is it preferable to have your blog and podcast mp3s hosted on the same server, or would it be better to keep the audio files with one host, and the web site files with another host?
For many years, I did this very podcast in a two host setup.
For remote web hosting technicians, trying to remember what time it is where your business is located can be a pain. Thankfully, I have an easy to remember bookmark that should save you both trouble and time when it comes to remembering when that next big meeting is for you and for your boss who lives across the country.
We have gone over the fact before that it is important to keep a backup of your web site, and if you haven’t done so – you should do so sooner rather than later. However, how many backups do you have of your web site? I think with the start of the new year, we might all need to make a backup of our web site backups.
Before you claim that I am just overly suspicious of bad thing happening, let me make my case. What would you do if your web site went down?
When it comes to extensions, Firefox is king – with thousands upon thousands to choose from. However, Google Chrome is just now starting to gain ground with the idea of having an extendable interface, so how many good web development extensions are there for this alternative browser from Google? I did my search and found five of the best web development related extensions for the browser.
Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet?
Even in web hosting, the new year can often be a great time to start out fresh, get a new look on your online life, and try to make things even better than they are. That is what this podcast is here to help you with, as long as you promise me one of your resolutions will be to listen to this episode of the Web Hosting Show.

A lot has happened this year in the web hosting world, and I have thankfully been able to cover a lot of it right here. Cloud hosting is on the rise, we said goodbye to Geocities, and let’s face it, I could go on and on. Rather than rambling, I thought today would be the perfect day to share with all of you podcasts you listened to the most in 2009.
Here are the ten most popular web hosting podcasts from 2009:
Click the image for the show you want to check out, listen to and/or download. 2009 was a great year for the Web Hosting Show podcast. We not only celebrated four years of bringing podcasts about web hosting and web development issue to all of you, we also celebrated the 200th podcast posted.
Also, I’m not going crazy – I did say “we” because without your downloading, dedication and support, this podcast would not be the one and only voice of the web hosting world. Thanks to you all, have a great New Year!
Anybody who has worked in technical support for a web hosting company will tell you that keeping all your tasks and windows organized on a day-to-day work schedule is very hectic and not a lot of fun. You have to keep this window open to check out help desk tickets, you have to look over here for forum replies, you have to go way over there to look at the recent tweets coming in from web hosting customers. It is enough to drive a person insane, unless you follow these simple organizational tips.
