The HostAdvice blog presents the finest and most valuable tips, tools and ideas for small business owners, start-up’s and entrepreneurs.
Nearly everyone has tried their hand at blogging at some point over the last few years, whether that’s through a work-based task or a personal preference. Sometimes finding an idea on what to blog about is usually the hardest part to a successful website, but finding the right hosting and features to run your blog on, certainly isn’t a hard task.
I haven't had an interview like this in a long time--or possibly ever--where I felt so much passion as I did when I talked with Matt McKinney at Canadian Web Hosting. I'd argue he's a newcomer to the space, with less than 8 years under his belt, but you'd think he had decades of exposure to the hosting industry.
It was an incredible honor to speak with Matt about his experiences, coming from communications and now working in strategy. His passion is infectious, and I hope you can see that in these answers.
Mike Lavrik created a business right out of high school -- and that business today is still his core focus. Interserver, based in Seacaucus, NJ, provides hosting services (and a lot more -- keep on reading!) to the masses. He recently told us all about his experiences in the hosting world and his company's offerings.
Web.com has a pretty big web presence and thousands of employees in dozens of offices around the world. The hosting and domain name registrar goes beyond the basics, giving people SEO services and other digital marketing offerings. We learned about the Web.com way when we sat down with Jason Teichman, the EVP and COO of Web.com.
Bluehost is one of those hosting companies that is pretty ubiquitous in the United States (and possibly beyond). There's a good reason for that too: their focus on innovative solutions for their customers in catering to each type of user puts them in a pretty good spot. We sat down with James Grierson, Bluehost's CEO, who told us about the company's current status and direction.
