Posted by Artashes, 12-27-2007, 02:26 AM
Montreal, Canada, December 27, 2007 – HostingDiscussion.com (http://www.hostingdiscussion.com), the third largest independent web hosting community on the Internet, has announced the rollout of its new website along with its acquisition and merger with two competing web hosting forums. HostingDiscussion.com seeks to centralize industry’s social habits and activities by offering a stronger and a bigger platform for public interactions.

In November this year, HostingDiscussion.com has acquired and merged with two competing web hosting forums – HostingRefuge.com and TalkWebHosts.com, core philosophies of which closely correlated with each other. “We looked and analyzed a number of variables, including the quality of forum discussions, the level of rare professionalism of our primary user bases and our general views of the industry as a whole,” – says Artashes Toumanov, HostingDiscussion.com Community Director. – “It was then very clear that our vision and our common desire to create something more meaningful and powerful with the owners of acquired communities matched.”

“The acquisition and merge between three large web hosting communities is definitely an important event for the industry,” - continues Toumanov - “as it is an attempt to create a larger and a more active platform that gives many of us a chance to interact, be helpful, share and socialize. Creating a larger community means stronger ties to the industry and getting closer to each other’s businesses and problems, resulting in better solutions.” Following the merge, HostingDiscussion.com now houses nearly 10,000 web hosting professionals and enthusiasts.

The new Web 2.0 version of the website released by HostingDiscussion.com, known around the community by “SHE” code word (stands for Social Hosting Experience), has been in development for over a year. Its mission is to equip users with tools and collaborative authority over information that will benefit them in terms of new ideas and stronger industry connections. “The Web is changing; the User-Web relationship is changing, so it was about time we took the step forward as well.” – Says Toumanov. – “We didn’t know exactly what we were going to build, but we knew we were about to reinvent the way our forum members communicate and share.”

The development process continues and in the coming weeks and months HostingDiscussion.com plans to rollout a number of new tools and applications, each to add new opportunities and capabilities of social and informative nature. According to the company, it wants products to be not only innovative, but equally valuable. A news blog is the first application to be release in the new year, followed by a number of others in the first two quarter of 2008.
