DAILY: Better web hosting, site management

January 4th, 2009 by mike downey Leave a reply »

I was reading Kevin Rose’s blog and learned about Squarespace, the web hosting company that hosts his blog and sponsors the popular weekly video podcast Diggnation. Upon checking out their offering I was quite blown away by the content management system, blogging platform, and in-browser WYSIWYG design tools. This is a hosting provider unlike anything I’ve seen. I signed up for a free 14-day trial and spent hours playing around with the admin tools. Simply awesome.

I’m probably going to be signing up for service this week and moving this domain over there. I’ve already pre-paid for my current hosting service with Dreamhost (which isn’t bad, but just doesn’t offer the premium services that Squaresoft does). 

If you’re using one of the popular blogging platforms you might want to take a look at Squarespace. You can sign up for a free 14-day trial and play around. I was able to import my WordPress blog really quickly and easily.

    Today only small providers, independent can offer good service, because every user is sacred to them.

  9. Sorry for my english I’m very angry – Normally I find blogs through the comments that other bloggers leaves on those blogs and so it adds to it just to show different styles and ideas. I have chosen this particular website because It provides help for people to make them feel confident on the web, to know they are welcome to join the conversation and give their opinions. It’s important that they know how the structure of blogs workout.

  10. i agree with u, i must study in here.

    I have heard about Squarespace as i think it is very good hosting provider company but main thing is that what features and free services they are providing with hosting services.

    Is it php5 enabled? Would be nice if it ran ionCube loader as well, since my current host doesn't do either…
