Technical Difficulties

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 15:56:47 +0000
Well, I tried - but looks like episode 154 of the Web Hosting Show will be delayed again this week, due to the fact that my main production machine for the podcast has yet to come back from HP.  It should be coming in Monday or Tuesday, so if I get the time - perhaps ...]

Interesting cPanel book (and more) available

Tue, 16 May 2006 17:12:17 EST
The small publisher Packt Publishing have released a book (2 months ago
actually) about the cPanel control panel found in many shared hosting accounts.
The publisher describes it as a clear, complete guide to getting the most from
cPanel. When checking out this book I found that the publisher also have a
selection of books on building websites with content management systems that
are commonly used in the same environment as cPanel.

Parallels Hosting Summit 2008 - Day 2

Fri, 23 May 2008 08:57:00 -0500

After a rather excitement-filled evening on the Potomac River boat cruise and a night on the town, many attendees were rather impressively "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed," as Candice would say, for Day 2 of the Parallels Summit. Although it wasn't as bustling as the first day, as it usually is with conferences, the sessions were still relatively well-attended and theWHIR networking lounge continued to be a hotspot for networking and deal-making.

The day started off with a keynote from Bill McNee from Saugatuck Technology who discussed what is known as the "third wave of Saas," which he says is characterized by an increased focus on mission critical business processes, personalized workflow and collaboration. In this sense, says McNee, SaaS is moving from the "fringe" to the "core" and increasingly being embraced as an enterprise-level solution. We can see this through examples like the emergence of robust SaaS ecosystems and marketplaces, as well as richer app experiences.

On top of the usual Parallels topics, like how to fully automate your infrastructure or the importance of standardizing, there were some other "timely" sessions on day two as well like Paul Stapleton's session "The Valuation of Your Hosting Business" where he discussed present market valuations for hosts by reviewing recent M&A activity and public comparables, while keeping the recent "debt market turmoil" in mind. And the "Green Hosting Overview" where companies provided case studies, describing how they implemented a low-cost data center, how providers have launched initiatives to minimize power consumption in their data centers as well as an open question and answer period.

Over the next week look for the exhibitor and attendee feedback on WHIRtv as well as our one-on-one video interview with Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels. Also be sure to check out theWHIR's Flickr page for more coverage of the event.

As an update to that event teaser in January, Serguei says that is simply when Parallels' next partner summit will be held. In January. Seems to be an interesting decision, considering it's not in the middle of "conference" season. However, it could be a great way to break up the "monotony" of winter so no complaints there!

And for all the ISVs that didn't make it out for this event, it is highly encouraged to attend the next one, says Serguei, as that is one of the main goals of the summit, to introduce and connect ISVs to Web hosts and to educate them on how to partner up. As you can see from this news story we reported on earlier this week, there definitely isn't a lack of opportunity for ways to expand your business, especially at this particular event, and many of the attendees we spoke to were quite pleased with the new partnerships they were developing.

Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a web host. It will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the web host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.
