Badongo Launches Beta Site
October 16, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Free file sharing site Badongo.com (badongo.net) announced on Monday it has launched the Beta version of its service, which now offers users a faster and simplified way to upload individual files from their desktop with the new Badongo Buddy.
After the Buddy is downloaded, users can instantly right-click on any file on their computers to upload them to Badongo. The Windows based user interface also enables users to drag and drop files to be uploaded.
The file-sharing service enables users to upload files up to 1GB in size to send to friends, family and colleagues. It provides users with links to their files that can easily be sent via email or instant messenger for viewing or download without file size restrictions based on the programs themselves.
Badongo's service can also be used by travelers to store files for easy retrieval. Created in 2005 by Patrick Boden, Badongo started as a favor for friends who wished to send large files.

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.

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.
