Web Hosting blog from Just Host

It’s that time of year again when Just Host packs our bags and heads out to meet with fellow ‘web hosters’ at Hosting Con 2009. Hosting Con is one of the few events which brings together a huge cross-section of people from the web hosting industry and is a great place to pick up new ideas and features for our customers.

This year Hosting Con is being held in Washington DC at the Gaylord National Resort and is being organized by iNET Interactive, who are brand new to the role. The attendees will include shared and dedicated web hosts, web hosting review sites, control panel providers and web hosting support services.

We are really looking forward to the event and can’t wait to meet up with our friends from last year. We’re hoping the conference schedule will inspire us with lots of new features that we can introduce to our service that will really benefit our customers.

Just Host safely returned from Chicago this week after a very exciting trip to Hosting Con 2008. The show definitely lived up to its name as ‘the largest gathering of hosted services professionals in the world.’ Exhibitors and attendees ranged from web host providers, web host support services, dedicated servers and web host forums and review sites.

I can guarantee that following Hosting Con you will see quite a few changes to justhost.com and our service, as so many great ideas were discussed and I am now full of enthusiasm from meeting so many great people within the hosting industry.

I must just add that I came back from Hosting Con with a slightly heavier bag after winning a Playstation 3 from Dedicated Now’s competition. That was all I needed to convince me to attend Hosting Con next year, see you all in Washington DC!

As you may be able to tell from the lack of a blog last week, Just Host is keeping me very busy with new orders and signing up with affiliates and advertisers. Then suddenly we decide to attend Hosting Con in Chicago at the end of the month!

So for the first time Just Host is heading overseas to the windy city to mingle with fellow hosts, see what’s new in the industry and essentially how to provide the best service to our customers. I will be attending with my colleague Luke from Just Uptime – our server and website monitoring service - and we will be meeting with many hosting websites to discuss Just Host and attending networking events such as the Networking Reception on the Monday night.

If anyone would like to arrange a meeting with Just Host please let us know by visiting our Contact Us page or email me on sales[at]justhost.com. If you have already arranged a meeting or are attending, see you there!
