Web Hosting for Dummies

I like things that don’t suck - so when I found this web hosting tutorial that didn’t suck I had to watch. Cheap budgets aside, I do have to say this is one of the best explanations of web hosting I’ve seen on in video form.

Top 10 Web Hosts Lists are Scams?

Found this interesting jewel on YouTube the other day, and thought I would post it up here and see what you think. Are all top ten web hosts links scams or just a select few? Does this paint web hosting resources on the web with a “do not trust” coat of paint or are there exceptions to the rule?

I would love to hear some feedback on this one. Do you think they are speaking the truth or are all of these top 10 sites all the same?

2007 Free Hosting Awards

From free file hosting to images and even video, in 2007 we saw a lot of new an innovative ways of sharing your information. So since this is the first year we have seen so many different players in the free hosting game I thought I would divide things up by category and pass out some awards to the best of the best.

PhotobucketBest Free Image or Graphic Host?

Winner! Photobucket - This service isn’t just for the MySpace crowd anymore. Although that is still a main audience of theirs, there is no doubt that Photobucket is gaining major ground when it comes to free image hosting. I would consider it an alternative to Flickr, would you?

Runners up: Flickr, Zooomr, & ImageShack

Box.netBest Free File Host?

Winner! Box.net - There are tons of file hosts out there, so what makes Box.net the best? They have the most respectable name in my opinion, and they have been around a while so I do trust them as well. They also have the easiest upgrade path if you want to move beyond your free file hosting space.

Runners up: Megaupload, Rapidshare, & MediaFire

YouTubeBest Free Video Host?

Winner! YouTube - Google’s powerhouse video sharing service has left just about all the others in the dust. Just like Google is looked at in the search engine world, when it comes to free video hosting or sharing it is hard to compete with YouTube.

Runners up: Revver, Dailymotion, & Veoh

Creating an E-mail Account in cPanel

Going into the holidays (especially Christmas) time is running short for various things, so the Web Hosting Show audio podcast might be on a wacky schedule till the start of the new year. This wacky time though should give me a little more time to try new things such as this one here.

As I test this new way of creating video content for the podcast here, I thought I would go with a question that gets asked an awful lot. How do you create an e-mail account from within the most popular of the control panels out there - cPanel.

Comeback for Video Tutorials?

I have a question I would like to pass your way. Since we are coming to the end of the year and the beginning of a new one in less than a month I’d really like to look at what I could do for you. One idea that has been passed my way by a listener was to do more video tutorials and to “make a comeback” as far as getting them rolled out one a week, two a month or something like that.

Please vote - is this something you’d like to see?

If they do make a comeback (it is up to you people!) then I will probably focus more on doing screen casts rather than trying to explain hosting with things you find in your laundry room.
