Interesting New Hosting Sites

Nov/08 in All Posts, Online Tools, Web Hosting Tutorials

ResourcesOn a day to day basis I get a lot of hosting related links sent my way to review and check out. Here are some of the latest hosting related web sites that have caught my eye and got my attention.

TheWebHostBiz.com
This web site wants to be your guide to starting and running a successful web hosting business. Whether you are just starting out, or you have been around for some time, TheWebHostBiz.com features the tools, applications, service providers and resources that will make your web host business a success.

ServerADay.com
Well the short story for this web site given on the web site itself is “We think all those ‘deal-a-day’ websites out there are cool so we thought what the heck. We have something to sell, so why not give it a shot.” Also being a division of OLM means you don’t have to worry about any shady deals coming forth.

iWeb’s Server Warehouse Clearance Deals
This is another server deal finder that will allow you to hunt for a server of your own. You can list by price and “time of posting” for your deals. The inclusion of an RSS feed for the deals is also a winner. This looks like a great new way for the iWeb people to market themselves to the bargain hunters.

Remember you can always send me your hosting related links at mitch@mitchkeeler.com. New or old, I always love to check them all out.

5 Ways to Pay for Your Hosting Account

Oct/10 in All Posts, Beginner Help, Web Hosting Tutorials

Running a web site, on any topic under the sun, does not have to put you in the red and eat up all of your money. There are several alternative paths you can take when it comes to paying for your web hosting account.

Reseller Hosting

With a reseller web hosting account, you can earn a little extra income on the side reselling a web host’s services to your friends, family and clients. With the money made, you can turn around and pay your own hosting bills so you can get out of the red and back into the green.

Affiliate Account

Many web hosts out there today offer affiliate accounts where you place a link on your web site, a person clicks through it and buys hosting from them, and you get credit for the sale. Might not be the easiest way of making money but with the high payouts some web hosts give you might only need to sell to one or two a month. Continue Reading →

Make Money With Hosting Affiliate Deals

Sep/19 in All Posts, Web Hosting Tutorials, Web Hosting Tutorials

Related Podcast Link: Listen to Episode 124!

Making MoneyMany of the big boys in the hosting business (and ever a few of the little ones) seem to be rolling out affiliate deals so that you can help them get more clients to host. Now the questions I know a lot of people have are how does this benefit the web host and how does it benefit the web hosting client?

First let me tell you what an affiliate deal is and how it works in web hosting. You see you have a web host and you have a hosting client. The hosting client usually puts a link on his web site or is given some sort of tracking code so that when he suggests to his viewers or buddies to sign up with the web host, he gets some cash back.

Cheap Shared HostingFrom the first time you ever remember seeing commerce in action, you learned that one thing rang true. You want to look for a cheap deal. When it comes to web hosting though, the cheapest deal is not always the best deal to go with. If way pay a lot for something, we feel like we are cheated. That is just human nature.

Now when it comes to web hosting and shopping for web hosting you can toss this rule out the window. No mater if you are paying $200 a month or $2 a month, that does nothing to speak for the quality or service that you are getting. Continue Reading →

Hostigg – Digg for Hosting Deals

Jun/12 in All Posts, Online Tools, Web Hosting Tutorials

Hostigg - Digg for Web Hosts

This is one of those ideas that you just knew was bound to get released by somebody, it was all just a matter of time. Want to browse through hosting deals, and see which ones are voted to the top for being the best of the best? A new web site hopes that you will make them your web hosting deal finding home. Hostigg.com takes a familiar idea and puts a web hosting twist on it.

Yet Another Digg Clone?

It is run using the “digg clone” content management system, Pligg so I won’t focus too much on how neat the back end of the web site is. So if you don’t focus on the mechanics, then where do you focus on? The content is what will make this web site a winner or a loser.

Good Points?

Vote for Web HostsOne the good side I like the fact that it exists for one. I think we need more “new” ideas in the web hosting industry. It also looks like it is getting some users in as well because there are people voting on hosting deals as we speak.

Bad Points?

On the bad side of things, I think they need more real content and description to the deals – not just “limited offer, get now”. Maybe each time a web host is mentioned, link back to the number or links back that they have so you can see other offers they might have.

Final Thoughts?

All in all, Hostigg.com is worth giving a shout out to and a shot. It will be real interesting to see how they progress over the first year or so. Will it be a success or just another shot in the dark? Only time will tell.

Revision3 and GoDaddy Deal

Feb/21 in All Posts, Hosting News, Web Hosting Tutorials

Taking a peak at what is going on in the Web hosting industry’s news division, the WHIR is reporting:

Domain registrar and Web hosting provider Go Daddy announced on Tuesday it has expanded its sponsorship advertising agreement with Internet television network Revision3 to include all of Revision3 Internet television shows.

I am happy to see that GoDaddy realizes this is a big market that has an audience and it just looking for somebody to toss money at them. Of course, since Revision3 has a few more A-listers and Web celebs, I bet they are getting a better deal that the one GoDaddy tossed my way a few weeks back.

All and all though, I think this is a very good thing for Web content. It is also a big check mark in the ol’ alternative advertising world as well.

“We’ve been happy with our podcast advertising,” says Barb Rechterman, executive VP at Go Daddy. “Promoting Revision3′s new TV network is a natural extension for us. These guys are onto something big. At Go Daddy, we recognize the importance of innovation and the folks at Revision3 are leading the pack.”

This is an audience that is captivated enough to download a show and watch it. They are not going to mind one or two ads jumping in there from time to time. I think it will be only a matter of time before you see more companies like GoDaddy jumping in for this type of marketing and advertising.
