Voicemails

June 24th, 2007 by nick

If I had to name one of my biggest pet peeves, it’s voicemail. Something essential to everyday business is simply my biggest annoyance of the day. I hate listening to voicemail, and when listening, it’s so easy to miss something. That is..until now, a friend was attending a legal conference in LA this past week and discovered SimulScribe.com. A service which basically replaces standard voicemail options and allows everyone to leave me a standard voicemail which is then converted to text and emailed to my blackberry. Perfect! I love it. No more listening to voicemails, no more missing voicemails, or having a delay in receiving a voicemail. I simply can’t put into words my love for this product and even better, it works very well. If anyone shares my hate of standard old school voicemails, check out Simulscribe.com

In other news, as Matt posted on the forums, we are now accepting beta testers for our Spam and Virus Firewall services. Pretty soon all WebHostingBuzz users will have the ability to eliminate one of my otther biggest annoyances..spam!

As my bio says, my leading responsibility at WebHostingBuzz is to introduce new products and features to you, in order to allow WHB to stay on the leading edge..so if there’s anything you want to see..let me know!

Woke up this morning to an email from UPS..

June 18th, 2007 by nick

Letting us know our new email firewalls are at the datacenter! Look out very soon for WebHostingBuzz to provide virus-free and spam-free email hosting! This add-on will be available to all WebHostingBuzz clients and will come standard on certain WHB packages as well!

Myself, I’m very excited to simply be able to rid my WHB email accounts of spam without having to worry about a challenge-response system, or even worrying about losing any legit email since these firewalls promise a 1 in 1,000,000 false positive rate (and 98% success rate!)

This is like Christmas..in June!

Hanging out…

June 14th, 2007 by Safvan M

Matt, myself and Nick attended the recent Cpanel conference in Houston TX. Needless to say it was a great experience for me and for the rest. I came to know a lot more about Cpanel itself and best of all met up with loads of Industry professionals. Matt took few pictures with his cell phone which came out a bit darker than expected but thats most probably due to poor light or his lame phone ;)

Anyways the link to post is  – http://whbstatus.com/showthread.php?t=686

Is my hosting company really green?

June 12th, 2007 by MattR

As one of the pioneers of green hosting, we’ve rapidly seen it become ‘the next big thing’ in the hosting industry. Unfortunately, a lot of this is for the wrong reasons. A number of our less scrupulous competitors quickly followed our lead in announcing various green iniatives. Whilst initially we noted this with some positivity (more people taking action = bigger results, surely?), it’s become apparent that this is more of a marketing tactic. This is not what we wanted to incite!

Hopefully, customers can see through the marketing tactics of some of these competitors and look for the real green companies; and apart from us, there are others – companies that genuinely care about the environment and not just their marketing results.

So I’d urge buyers to beware. Do your research on the green element of our competitors. Can they backup their claims? Are they really green?

Oh, of course. You’re asking the same question about us? The answer is here: http://www.internationaltreefoundation.org/files/supporters.htm

WebHostingBuzz Affiliate Program

June 5th, 2007 by Safvan M

The question is simple. Do you want to turn your website visitors in to potential dollar bills? If the answer is YES then please go through this page as we introduce our state of the art affiliate program to you. Affiliate programs are common and used in almost all Industries of the world. The concept is very simple to grasp. You direct potential customers to our website which can be your visitors and earn a commission for every sale. Thats the blue print however this gets more interesting. Unlike other web hosts who pay a small percentage of a given sale or a fixed one time payout, our program is performance based. To make it more easy to understand, lets look at the figures below:
Pay-per-Sale (Flat Rate)

1-5 sales per month – $25 per sale per month
6-10 sales per month – $50 per sale per month
11-15 sales per month – $75 per sale per month
16+ sales per month – $100 per sale

Please note that commission rates remain fixed for the given number of sales. You will earn $100 for every 16th sale and onwards. Your total commissions are not automatically upgraded to the next level for any previous sales for example you will still earn only $50 per sale for your first 6-10 sales per month. Please contact us at affiliates@webhostingbuzz.com if you have any questions about the payout scheme.

Are you a bigger affiliate with wide network of web hosting or technology related sites? Can you bring us more than 250 sales per month?

WebHostingBuzz pays you not only for driving traffic to our website, but also for referring new webmasters and associates. You can earn 10% of the commissions paid to your referred webmaster for example if you referred Mr. Smith to join our affiliate program and he was paid $1000 as his affiliate payment, you would automatically earn $100. You can double your earnings by referring other website owners to join our affiliate program.
