Welcome to the Web Hosting Mind! 2007-10-04 19:56:18 Now that the site is officially set up, I just wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know what to expect. First, a bit about myself.
My name is Alex and I founded a web hosting company (T35 Hosting
) in 1997, moving it to the present day http://www.t35.com domain in march of 1999. For those of you wondering what “T35″ stands for (and i know you are!), the original concept was a top sites list — top 35. Hosting was only a side project and was run from hosting.t35.com. It didn’t take long for our hosting service to become so popular that we closed up the other sites and decided to focus on solely free web hosting. It made sense to keep t35.com since members received “user.t35.com” URLs and t35.com allowed for short URLs.
Since then, T35 Hosting has gone through many transformations and I have personally been involved not only with T35, but have worked on dozens of other projects along the way. These range from home-grown ideas like wisecounter.c Read more:Welcome
Unmetered and Unlimited Space and Bandwidth 2007-10-13 19:31:27 While browsing a web hosting forum yesterday I noticed an interesting phenomenon. Unlimited and unmetered hosting is becoming a big taboo in the hosting world. In fact, most web hosting and webmaster forums have begun banning all posts about such plans.
First a little background, including the difference between unlimited and un-metered.
Unlimited space and bandwidth is [...]

Another web host comparison! 2007-10-08 18:56:09 Since the last web host comparison
was so well received, I decided we should have another one! This time I want to evaluate some of today’s largest free web hosts based on one of the most important features: PHP. For the test, I plan to use several popular scripts to test the load time, execution [...]
What happened to free web hosting? 2007-10-07 19:40:08 With T35 Hosting celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year, I was digging through some old boxes to find something cool to put on the site. To my surprise, I found the original web hosting business plan! Thumbing through it brought me to the largest section: “The Competition.” Quickly skimming down [...]
Is Fantastico for cPanel becoming obsolete? 2007-10-19 10:47:22 I was setting up another server for T35 Hosting yesterday and noticed something new in cpanel’s WHM (the administrative side of cpanel). They now seem to have a pretty comprehensive list of one-click-install scripts that can be offered to customers.
For those not so familiar with Fantastico
, that has pretty much been their business model since [...]

Free PHP Web Hosting Comparison 2007-10-22 19:29:56 The wait is finally over! I have officially completed the long awaited free php web hosting comparison. To benchmark the different hosts I used a php script that timed itself while executing tens of thousands of math operations. This script was then run 10 times each day on 7 different days (for a consecutive week). [...]

Microsoft IIS to overtake Apache? 2007-11-05 14:50:09 Netcraft recently released their October statistics and the results are startling. Apache
now has less then a 10% lead on Microsoft
’s IIS — the smallest gap between the two since IIS was launched in 1996! From my personal experience, I was always under the impression that Apache was the dominant platform for serving content on [...]

If your forum is completely empty and [...]
