Web Host Industry Review Article on Laughing Squid Web Hosting

Web Host Industry Review

The March 2009 issue of Web Host Industry Review (WHIR) features an interview with me by the magazine’s editor Liam Eagle. It’s the most comprehensive interview I’ve ever done about our web hosting services. Liam did the interview by phone and there are a few areas were the transcription wasn’t quite right, but overall it came out really well.

“An Interview With Scott Beale of Laughing Squid”

In the article I talk about how we started out offering web hosting, our relationship with Rackpace (we are one of their oldest customers), our use of the Plesk control panel, how web hosts can take advantage of use social media like Twitter and our recent foray into cloud hosting.

In the same issue of WHIR, Wayne Epperson interviewed me for his article on “Hosts Explore Social Networks” on how web hosts are starting to use social networking.
