    Added favicons to links. Thoughts?

    I saw this recently on another XF-based forum that I participate in and at first I was like "woah, this looks busy"... but then, as days and weeks went by, it started to grow on me. Apparently it kept on growing to a point of me adding the same functionality to HostingDiscussion to see what it'd...

    WHC.ca is experiencing technical problems

    I noticed an increased chatter about it on X, but for those in Canada, WHC.ca is reporting DNS issues. https://whcstatus.ca/

    Is advertising at WebHostingTalk worth it?

    Terrible, sorry to hear that. Was your client a web hosting company or a software company? I am asking because a hosting forum may not even be the right audience. The list is relatively short for web hosting forums: webhostingtalk.com hostingdiscussion.com lowendtalk.com lowendspirit.com

    Did I miss WebHostingTalk getting sold?

    Please link us up. PS: If you are talking about WebHostingTalk's about us page on LinkedIn (that mentions Toronto, Canada), then this may be very old information. Unless you saw a recent post about it.

    That's just part of marketing. Liquid Web hosts the site in exchange for a link back. Similarly how on HostingDiscussion home page's footer you can see "Hosted by IO Zoom" link.

    I miss FrontPage

    Sounds like good times, @SharedGrid 😂

    Help spread the good word!

    I tried to contest it one more time. For the sake of transparency, here is my follow up message to them: I pointed at our terms and the fact that the reviewer actually acknowledges breaking them in the review post. But it's like I said before (and @SharedGrid confirms above), the value of...

    Help spread the good word!

    TrustPilot decided to keep the review of a spammer as they "concluded that the words or phrases you’ve identified don’t contravene our guidelines. Therefore, we’ve reinstated the review and won’t be taking further action." This signifies how nonsense review platforms are in reality. Not only...

    Help spread the good word!

    A few months ago we had a disgruntled user spam our community, get a ban as a result and then proceed to badmouthing the forum on a couple of review websites, like TrustPilot. While I could care less about what someone thinks of me or the community when they get kicked for violating the...

    Is there a difference what you call a blog folder/URL?

    A very sensible explanation, Conor. Thank you. I was triggered in part because as I recently read Google may have a good idea on how to crawl a website, based on words in an URL. For one, if I had old blog posts, but still wanted to retain them, I'd create a separate folder called /archive/ and...

    Is there a difference what you call a blog folder/URL?

    If you are a web hosting company that decided to launch a blog on your website in order to build up content, does it make a difference what URL/name you give this blog? One of the friendly owners started a blog, but chose to install it under /community/ folder name. He doesn't like /blog/ URL...

    Did I miss WebHostingTalk getting sold?

    Good catch. I wonder why they waltzed away from mentioning their brand on the site though. The rumour I heard was that WHT went back into private hands.

    Did I miss WebHostingTalk getting sold?

    Does anyone know who the owner of WebHostingTalk is? I thought it was Penton/Informa or one of those companies... but suddenly I don't see a single mention of either in the footer or anywhere else on the forum.

    Conference booth marketing

    I know this subject has been recently touched on, but my question has a different angle on it as I found it interesting. As a web hosting company, if you have ever ran a booth at a conference (or seen another company do it), what message/promo/activities/techniques have worked well? Everyone...
