Cisco: Data Center Networks – The data center networks blog at Cisco is updated almost every day with some great information, ideas and analysis. It also includes updates from Cisco’s Techwise TV.

Domain Name Wire – Another one that’s a bit more of a news site. Domain Name Wire is one of the best resources out there for news and analysis from the domain business, particularly as it relates to the domainer world.

Dreamhost Blog – Dreamhost’s blog is one of the company’s distinguishing features – a bit of a look behind the scenes that created a real sense of community among customers. Usually updated by CEO Josh Jones.

Green Data Center Blog – Data center business veteran Dave Ohara writes an insightful, informative and very focused blog dealing with green data center technology.

The Rackspace Cloud – Along with developing a very interesting set of cloud hosting solutions, Rackspace does an excellent job of keeping up its blogs. The Cloud blog is an interesting look behind the scenes at the company.

The OpenSRS Reseller Blog – A bit of a combination of an interesting look inside the reseller services business at Tucows, and an informative look at the domains business in general.

Royal Pingdom – Performance monitoring technology company Pingdom has created the Royal Pingdom blog to publish some really interesting information it has gathered through the use of its monitoring tools.

Security Fix – Brian Krebs of the Washington post monitors the security world for the general public, posting more or less daily updates about spam, phishing and the rest of the security threats out there.

Web Hosting Show – The eponymous blog of Mitch Keeler’s “Web Hosting Show” podcast. An interesting way of interacting with the broadcast, and a good source of consumer hosting information.

Amazon Web Services Blog – More explicitly about the product it is associated with than some of the other blogs on this list, but fortunately there’s a lot of interesting stuff on the Amazon cloud.

ServerBeach Blog – In some ways, a pretty standard-issue hosting blog, but fortunately, a lot of effort seems to go into making the blog an interesting read.
