    Clue me in

    I'm not as savvy in free web hosting as I am in other aspects of the industry. So... Please clue me in as to how free hosts are making revenue these days. Aside from forced ads, what brings in the money to at least sustain a free hosting business?

    Anybody use IntelloDesk?

    I've tried some of the beta versions (it isn't fully released yet) and do have a license, but wanted to see if anyone here uses it and their thoughts. I'll probably try to sell the license, honestly because I'm switching back to ClientExec most likely and can use the built-in support. If there...

    ClientExec skins?

    Anybody know of any resources to get ClientExec skins made or that offer pre-made CE skins? I see that there are templates to do your own on ceaddons.com and sometimes people will post on ce-talk.com but I've yet to see a company with extensive skins and/or experience. Now that 2.6 is out...

    Writing for the Web

    As avid surfers of the fine World Wide Web, how would you describe your reading style? "Reading style?" you ask? Yes, reading style. Are you someone who spends quality time with each and every web page of interest and takes in the words like a good novel? Or are you a "scanner" - one who...

    Best accounting software/method?

    I know that the pat answer might come back as "QuickBooks" as that seems to be the popular choice in many industries, but I thought I'd ask what you all use for actual accounting software and/or methodology. Yes, ClientExec and Modernbill do your accounting in a limited fashion, but they are...

    Would you go local vs. big and remote?

    Was tempted to title it "Would you go LOCO .." but figured that would be confusing. :D There is a colo/datacenter facility very close to where I live and I'm tempted by them all the time. However, I know that the "big guys" have a bit more just due to their massive corporate stature. I guess...

    Hiring and testing support personnel

    If you are thinking about outsourcing your support, even to just one person helping you part time during the off hours, you should consider a well-planned "test" of their stated skills. This can happen many ways. Some prefer to start with a formal Q&A interview, typical of any industry, to get...

    Stars of the industry?

    Who do you feel are the "stars" of the web hosting industry and why? What made them shine? What do you admire about them? It seems like, even though I subscribe to two industry magazines and I definitely frequent forums within the industry, there really aren't a heck of a lot of standouts...
