Hosting Magazines

[mark]

I used to get WebHosting Magazine, but they've stopped producing the print copy. Are there any others?

Would be interested to know what the most popular print based mags are for anyone involved in web hosting (obviously industry related in some way - ie not top shelf ;-) )
Cheers

Ditto, Jo (beat me to it).

Its a bit commercial (every other page is an advert for a webhost, or 2 pages if your 1&1 )
The news/ reviews are quite good and occasionally a good program pops up on the cover disk (ie, Mozilla )

oh and you get a free mouse mat with this months issue (although I dont have a mouse).

I was going to subscribe to that - free subscription to anyone in the hosting industry - but was disgusted at the shipping cost - $199 for a years subscription. Strewth - the mag itself only costs $83 if you buy it normally. Wrote a letter to them along the lines of "I could understand it if i was in outer mongolia or something but 16 bucks shipping for a mag across the Atlantic, what is that all about", but didn't hear anything back. I'm not tight but $199 - are they putting it on Concorde to get it over here??

It is more for the general internet user / consumer. The reason i used to like WebHosting Mag is that it was specifically targeted to the Hosting Exec - with reviews of control panels etc. Shame they had to stop it.
I used to get Internet Business magazine all the time also - but that quietly went away also. Have you noticed how few Net related mags there are available these days?

The skateboarding mag of the hosting industry. :roll:
