I came across an interesting site today while browsing some of the web hosting discussion forums. This website ranks the speed of hosting services both globally and by individual country. It's well worth a look if you're interested to see where your hosting provider ranks.
HostingSpeeds.com is home of the 'Hosting speeds comparison project'. According to the site they provide "an independant and accurate 'Real World' & 'Real Time' comparison of the hosting market" based on 3 types of web host speed tests...
First, webmasters and web hosts let their site visitors perform speed checks to see how fast a 100kb page loads. Page load rank is based on speed tests performed during the last 3 days.
Second, all users can perform server reponse time speed checks to see how much time it takes for the host servers to respond. This test measures from 13 locations world wide simultaneously
Finally web hosts themselves can perform speed tests on their local networks to see how fast their local network can handle data.
"All results of these 3 speed tests are collected and stored in our database at hostingspeeds.com to calculate and display the speed ranks"
So I thought I'd look up one of my favorite web hosting providers, Thirdsphere Hosting to see how fast they were performing and found them to be ranked 52 overall out of 353 hosting services listed. I guess I'm satisfied with this result, as they perform extremely well for me and offer great customer service. Although I'd be far more impressed with a top 20 listing!
So pay them a visit and see where your current web host ranks, but make sure to come back here to HostingDiary and leave a comment below with the results for us all to see.

Los Angeles-based hosting provider Globat.com® announced its support of the latest Internet sensation by purchasing 4000 pixels of advertising space on MillionDollarHomepage.com.
From the Globat website...
"Alex Tew, a young British student and entrepreneur, founded MillionDollarHomepage.com in early September with the goal to sell pixels of homepage space to advertisers for a dollar each to fund his university education.
In Alex I saw the purest form of entrepreneurship. He set a high goal but he's had a lot of success very quickly, said Ben R. Neumann, President and CEO of Globat.com. With our Web hosting services, Globat.com continues to support thousands of entrepreneurs, but Alex's achievements appeal to us so greatly that we want to support such an imaginative entrepreneurial effort directly..."
Currently Alex has sold over 156,000 pixels on his website landing him a handy $156,000! HostingDiary.com wishes Alex continued success for his clever idea.

Edit to previous post: It seems Micfo have now discontinued their 5 tier affiliate program.
I don' know why as Micfo failed to notify its affiliates of the change.
Instead take a look at the ModVPS/HostingZoom affiliate program:
2 million customers in 6 years. They must be doing something right.
Who will it be?

Nearly six years ago Brinkster opened the virtual doors for its first customer. In the next few weeks we will welcome the two millionth customer to sign up for a free or paid web hosting package at Brinkster.
"This milestone is important because it is reflective of our strong customer growth as we continue our commitment to offer the best service at the best price," says Jared Stauffer, President and CEO of Brinkster.

Congratulations Brinkster. We can't wait to see who the lucky webmaster will be.
Here at HostingDiary we use Namecheap for domain name registrations.
I thought I'd try to find a discount promotion code to use at Namecheap as I'm looking to register a few new names. While I won't be saving a fortune, I did manage to find a discount code that will reduce the cost from the standard $8.88 down to $7.99.
The Namecheap code is SAVE7993
Don't forget this also includes private whois registration. Not a bad deal!
An article by Raamakant S.
In the E-World your domain name is your first assessment of what your site is about. It's not just your site name but it is the first criterion of your success on the Internet and when it comes to a point of success you must hold it tight. It can make your business stand out in the crowd, or just float aimlessly in space. Well many of us think that it merely plays any role but it's not the truth. Think if nobody remembers your site name or see no visual look of what your site is about.
The temptation of a good domain name is so powerful; that's why some companies even paid ridiculously high prices to get the name they want. The domains Loans.com and Wines.com were both bought for $3 million each. Telephone.com was acquired for $1.75 million, while Bingo.com sold for $1.1 million.
So the main question is, what points we should consider when we choose a domain name. For better results, your domain name should be memorable and easy to remember. Remember the following tips when creating a domain name.
* The domain name should be short. * The domain name should be simple. * It should be suggestive of your business category. * It should be unique. * It should be easy to interpret and pronounce. * It should be personalized. * It should not be difficult to spell. * It should not be difficult to remember.
