Tyler Thompson
Marketing Manager

Blogging. For me, blogging is an oxymoron of types. I enjoy writing and think I’m quite good at it but blogging has just never clicked. I don’t blog here much and most my social media writing usually extends to humorous Facebook status updates. However, I am making a concerted effort to become involved in our blog and post regular and most importantly interesting content.

While we’re on the interesting content note, I’d like to add a few words on our blog. Our blog was launched initially as a news outlet. We’d syndicate company news and press releases onto our blog as just another outlet for people to read. Throw in some evolution and we started posting server uptime figures, special offers and more until we made a decision not too long back that we needed to put a lot more into our blog. Reading blogs of other people in the industry, competitors, peers and more left ours shamefully behind. Although we were kindly mentioned on DataCenterKnowledge’s list of hosting blogs a while back, I think our mention was somewhat unworthy due to lack of quality content. We decided that solid action was needed…

Enter Tyler. Tyler was intially hired in a writing/PR freelance type position with the role of working on our press releases and blogs. He quickly impressed us with his active, forward-thinking approach to work and now is member of our management team with a focus on marketing as a whole. I feel that Tyler has contributed a lot to our blog with a selection of serious, interesting and the occasional funny article. We’re definitely going to keep adding more of those and I hope that my involvement on the blog will encourage others to post here too. Afterall, we are a team of highly intelligent individuals… and if office gossip, conference humour and the general team spirit we enjoy is accurate, then we are articulate too.

Demanding people to write on our blog certainly isn’t my or our management style. We’re very much a democratic team within this company and that is something that won’t change. With that said, I am hoping that if the team sees the blood, sweat and tears I endure while writing here, they’ll jump on the bandwagon and provide insights on us as a company, hosting as in industry and interesting web topics.

Laying down the gauntlet, I am going to start writing a series of posts on where I believe the hosting industry to be heading. This will include cloud/grid hosting, virtualization as a whole, SaaS and whether shared hosting as we know it will cease to exist in a number of years. I’ll provide some insight on our own cloud/grid and virtualization plans as well as thoughts on the industry as a whole. Some of you will have more of an active interest than others (I do appreciate that hosting for many is a boring commodity that just there) but as all of us have some degree of interest in the hosting market, I hope what I write will be of interest to you.

That’s all for now. I hope to have the first part of my next blog wrapped up late this week/early next and will post it then. In the mean time, if you have any comments/suggestions/feedback on what you’d like to see here, please do let us know and we’ll try to accommodate.

I am currently enrolled in an upper division class on information systems security focusing on the CISSP examination. The class is part of a program certified by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance. Since cyber crime and electronic security are becoming such everyday topics – especially e-commerce related – I thought many of our readers might find it interesting to read some of my papers from the class.

The first assignment was to describe a security attack that I had experienced or been a part of. I describe a situation I was in as a small hosting provider who was defaced by a targeted attack against one of my clients.

The story goes back almost a year now (and is still being added to every day.) The story goes across 4 states and three nation’s borders. Until you’ve done a cyber investigation, you really have no idea how difficult situations like these can be – I sure didn’t have any grasp of it going in, but I have learned lots from the process.

Here’s a quick introduction to a new service of ours; email marketing, namely newsletters and surveys. We’ve setup a partnership with VerticalResponse, a company who specializes in email marketing. We actually use them for our own newsletters and surveys and after some discussion, we have an exclusive offer to WebHostingBuzz clients.

Visit http://webhostingbuzz.vresp.com and signup with no obligation to get 500 free newsletter credits and preferred rates on additional credits. Our Buzz Email tools allow you to design newsletters or surveys from scratch with no HTML knowledge needed. If you’d prefer to design your own HTML but need to get around the 200 email per hour limit on our shared servers, then simply copy and paste your HTML when presented with the option. Buzz Email will provide you with delivery reports, readership percentage, click percentage on any links in your emails and much much more.

Should you wish to create a survey, the survey designer will allow you to use any imaginable field type to collect data from your users. We’ve done several surveys ourselves in the past using the same tools and will be using them again shortly in our latest survey.

Any questions? Comment below or get in touch.
