Hey,
I just back ordered the last 3 issues of ping zine since I am in Ireland.
Got them a lot quicker than I expected, I was expecting a few weeks wait from the states.
Anyway...on to the mags themselves.
I have only been reading 2 of the 3 so far, they have great articles, very helpful for both newbie and experienced hosts.
I was actually a bit amazed when I felt how thick the latest issue is, and all the content is great quality and informative.
There are some very good writers doing work for ping zine, including a few members of HR and at least one regular that I know of
The layout of the mag is very good, makes it easy to read and it breaks down large articles very well keeping the reader interested.
It's great to have something in print to keep up to date with the industry and get lots of tips and tricks that help any host along the way, you can be sure you will learn something new from reading ping zine, no matter how long you have been in the industry yourself.
I have a question about something I saw in volume 2 issue 3 though, on page 33 you can see a man standing on something with 2 large wheels, is that used to go around a DC or what?
It looks familiar but since I am in Ireland with no DCs here, I wouldn't have any idea..
The ads seem to be more targeted towards the people reading it now, I know I have found a few ads interested and visited the sites, actually bought something from one of the ads I saw in PZ.
Still have lots left to read and a full, unopened issue in plastic to go
I'm hoping that HostingRefuge will be mentioned in it someday
I would fully recommend anyone interested in hosting to signup for ping zine.
If you are outside the states, you will have to pay, but believe me, it is more than worth the small cost.
If you have missed any issues, you can also back order.
I'm a very happy ping zine reader
