13 of My Favorite Hosting Interviews

Due to my PC being in bad shape, going to postpone recording this week.  Do not freat though, because I hate to leave anybody empty handed.  I have had a great collection of people on the podcast of the 3+ years.  My question is, have you heard them all?

Here are some of my favorite interviews I have done with the elite of our business.

Interested in hearing somebody on the show or being on the show yourself?  Drop me an e-mail and I would be more than happy to hear about it.

  • How to Stay Honest with Your Hosting Reviews!
  • What Happens When the Web Host Bites Back?

Some web host reviewers are shady or down right scammy, but Emory is a guy I know and trust so when he says a web host is good or bad - I know I can believe him. What should and should not come into play though when seeking out and shopping for your next web host?

Want Exposure? Come Talk to Me!

Black Server.jpgAs you have probably figured out by now, I took this week off from doing the podcast due to a few reasons, with the biggest one being time. I thought now would be a good time though to toss out the offer to all of you to come talk with me.

Interview With a Host Searcher - Episode 113

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.

iNet InteractiveOn this week’s edition of the Web Hosting Show podcast I got to talk with Troy Augustine the President and CEO of iNet Interactive on and about the web industry. From iNet’s reputation to advice on how to grow a bigger brand we covered a lot of topics in a short amount of time.

For some of those who might not be familiar with iNet Interactive I thought I would whip up a short list of some of the biggest Web sites they own.

What are some of the areas of the Web that iNet Interactive covers? Here are some of the more popular web sites that are under the iNet network:

  • WebHostingTalk.com - The biggest set of forums on and about the web hosting industry. Claimed to be the “largest web hosting discussion forum” and I have to say, I can not find one that is any bigger.
  • HotScripts.com - HotScripts.com is one of the best places out there on the Web to find scripts and and applications for your web site written in many different scripting lanuages.
  • OC Forums - The Overclockers Forum is the second largest computer hardware discussion community on the Internet.

There are many more you could add to this list as well. For a full list, be sure to check out iNet Interactive’s “properties” section on iNetInteractive.com.

Web Hosting’s Main Event? HostingCon!

HostingCon 2007I have been a big supporter of HostingCon since day one. I think it is an excellent event and it has quickly become the biggest event of the year for anybody who has any interest in the web hosting industry. Each year about this time I get just a little more excited because for web hosting enthuists this is almost as good as Christmas.

Like we have done in years past, I figured now would be as good of a time as any to bring George Roberts - the man behind the HostingCon magic - back on the podcast to talk about this year’s event and how it might be a little more different that years before.

You can listen to that interview right here on WebHostingShow.com.

There is also more time avalaible to make plans to attend the event as well. If you need anymore information or wish to keep up to date with the event, check out HostingCon.com.
