InternetLitigators has attended the premier web hosting event in the Country for the third year in a row. This year, HostingCon was at the beautiful Navy Pier in Chicago, IL. Sessions on Search Engine Marketing presented by Ben Fisher of TechPad Agency and Neil Patel of ACS offered valuable tidbits of information useful to anyone interested in raising their relevancy on the Internet. Derek Vaughn of TechPad Agency gave a Nostradamus like prediction of the future of the Internet and the place that web hosting will take in that future.

 

The merging of Media was an obvious theme and several examples were offered. We even got to see an iPhone obliterated in a blender to illustrate the point of thinking creatively in your marketing strategy.

 

Viewing Web Hosting as a somewhat ubiquitous commodity necessary only to provide the true products and services in demand by consumers was a common thread in many presentations. This was highlighted succinctly by Richard Rosenblatt of Demand Media in his presentation entitled Next Generation Web: What Lies Ahead for Hosting.  What is Web Hosting? asked Rosenblatt rhetorically. Lou Honick of HostMySite prophetically added a footnote to his own comments in the keynote panel discussion reminding the audience that dismissing the entrance of some larger companies into the web hosting market is unwise. Honick suggested that maybe it is the rest of us that should learn something about the products and services that these entities have chosen to offer to the public.

 

Overall HostingCon 2007 was a valuable opportunity to connect with the Web Hosting industry for educational and business opportunities alike.
