TheWebHostBiz.com Offers a One-stop Resource for the Whole Web Hosting Industry

October 25, 2007; 03:32 AM
TheWebHostBiz.com (http://www.thewebhostbiz.com/) launched today, offering a one-stop resource for the whole web hosting industry. A sister site of HostSearch.com (http://www.hostsearch.com), the Internet’s largest source of searchable information for web hosting end users, TheWebHostBiz.com represents a relaunch of HostBizTools.com and an extensive pool of information on products and services of interest to web hosts themselves.

‘I think it is a fairly unique service this site provides the web hosting industry,” explained Web Editor, John Hughes. “I think there is something on this web site for every web host to benefit from, regardless of whether they are new to the industry, or old hands. I honestly believe that this is an excellent resource being offered”. Billed as a “guide to starting and running a successful web hosting business”, TheWebHostBiz provides access to the tools, applications, service providers, resources and information needed to set up a web hosting operation and keep it successful.

“I think TheWebHostBiz just about has it all,” added Mr. Hughes. “The site provides access to the web hosting solutions web hosts might need – reseller options, dedicated servers, co-location… that sort of thing. It also provides details of things like billing solutions and Customer Services solutions including help desk and ticketing systems. Obviously, web hosts need web sites and TheWebHostBiz has a section of web design solutions, development services, web templates, and things like website builders that will help a host get a professional site up and running. Probably most importantly, the site provides details on the business tools web hosts need. For example, the site offers details on services and agents who can help web hosts open bank accounts and register companies in the United States. Of course, the site also looks at the software and hardware web hosts utilize, and also considers business promotion aspects such as web promotion.”

“The site is interactive,” continued Mr. Hughes. “Visitors can provide feedback in terms of rating each listing. It also offers access to articles covering a range of areas related to web hosting as a business. Finally, there is a forum that we hope will become a home for the web hosting community. Somewhere web hosts can meet and exchange news, views and ideas.”

Asked about the need for a relaunch of HostBizTools, Mr. Hughes said, “HostBizTools was functioning well, but we decided to focus it more. The name change really typifies what the site is all about; this is a web site for the web hosting business - period. It has been redesigned to make information more accessible, and we have simplified the site structure and coding. Pages load faster… It is easier to use… All round it’s a much better site than its predecessor.”
