The Web Hosting Show

This is the name of Mitch Keeler’s multimedia hosting blog  – The Web Hosting Show. It is probably the best blog in hosting industry. Why? Because Mitch works hard to produce good content and to broadcast.

WHS is the only blog in the industry which offers hosting podcasts. You can get them on iTunes or listen them on the website. Go to webhostingshow.com and send your regards to Mitch. As he said in one of his recent posts, this week “marks a big mile stone for me and for you. This podcast marks the 3rd year the Web Hosting Show has been around, creating podcasts week after week to help you learn more about and get more out of the web hosting industry.”

Go listen Mitch’s hosting radio. It is cool!

Pakistan is Greater than YouTube? But Don’t Host There!

I’ve wanted to find something in Youtube on Sunday and I’ve seen that the website is unreachable. Well, it is hosting, so downtime is always possible. I’ve thought that the website is overloaded and continued to do what I had to.

Today I’he read that YouTube was down on Sunday after the government of Pakistan tried to restrict local access to the website. This resulted affected in limited access to YouTube from other countries.

Pakistan ordered local ISPs to block access to the YouTube website because it was running material insulting to Islam. The Pakistani government however said there was no intention to block worldwide ccess to YouTube.

The video sharing network removed the content deemed insulting to Islam.

Pakistan justified its order to block You Tube on its own territory by saying it was necessary to avoid unrest in the 160 million, predominantly Muslim country.

Internet monitoring firm Renesys reported that the block extended over two-thirds of the global Internet population, with the greatest affect seen in Asia where the outage lasted 2 hours.
