Web hosting event season in full swing

By WHIR Happenings on June 06, 2008

TheWHIR team has been busy at events the last few months and we are now planning on attending both the cPanel Conference 2008 and LTPact 2008

a conference put on by the folks at Layered Technologies this month.

cPanel Conference 2008 is in its 3rd year and promises to be more in depth, including more advanced topics than the previous years. There will be guest speakers in addition to cPanel Developers. Also taking place will be panel discussions with some of cPanel's Developers and Technical Support Specialists.

With the upcoming release of cPanel Server Suite for Windows scheduled for 2008, the conference will have several sessions geared towards the new product and how it will significantly enhance Windows based hosting operations.

Conference registration is once again very reasonable at $60.00 USD per attendee. Attendees will be able to meet vendors and producers of software plug-ins that work with cPanel and service providers that deploy cPanel. As the host of the conference, cPanel will be providing a cocktail reception with a top shelf open bar on the evening of the 11th and a sumptuous dinner for all attendees and exhibitors on the 12th. Lunch and breakfast will be provided both days. You can register for the event taking place in Houston, Texas on June 11th - 13th, 2008.

LTPact 2008 also in its 3rd year will be held in Las Vegas, NV at Caesars Palace Resort from June 25th through June 27th. This three day conference allows you get the most current information in the hosting industry by hearing first hand from industry analysts, key industry players and a whole host of other companies and individuals who are leaders in the hosting environment. If you're looking for the best place to find the right information for your hosting needs, then LT PACT 2008 is the place for you!

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
