It is not often I get some scoop, but this one got leaked to me (shhhh!), so I’ll share it.
SingleHop is about to release a slick new management tool for their servers called LEAP that will definitely raise the bar for their competitors still using Plesk or CPanel. You get the interactivity of a desktop application but all in the portable convenience of your browser. Everything from configuration to provisioning to billing in one place. Pretty sweet.
For my fellow geeks out there, some details. It is Ajax, not Flash (or Flex), all built on top of Ext JS. Always good to seem web standards winning over proprietary stuff.
In any case, check it out. SingleHip should be releasing LEAP this week:
Update (21/Jul/2008 12:21): LEAP is now live on SingleHop’s site. I guess my “scoop” is now old news. Still a nice Ajax app, tho.

There are a lot of different types of hosting. You can use shared hosting, a VPS, or a dedicated server. You can use Windows or Unix. You can use Apache or IIS. You can use something more off-the-beaten-path. But one thing remains the same. At the bottom, underneath all those details, there is still a server and that server connects to the internet, probably by ethernet.
So what does this commonality mean? Well, it means one very important thing. There is a top speed of hosting. (Read more…)
HostScope is a new site that combines several of my web sites, both existing and planned, into a single place. Its focus is web design, development, technology, and general webmastery. As a result, it needs to cover everything from picking a web host to configuring a blog to monetizing your site. Whether I can live up to the challenge of this broad a mission remains to be seen, but it should be an interesting ride regardless. More info...
