Web Hosting Talk – WHT for short – is the top global forum for web hosting discussions and services.
Active for more than a dozen years, Web Hosting Talk has pretty much used a minimalistic approach to its forum software skin, which is based on vBulletin.
A number of recent changes found on other social media, such as Facebook, ensures that the interaction between the WHT members will stay up to date; the majority of Web Hosting Talk members seem to approve of these novelties.
In particular:
“All posts have a “thumbs up” option in the bottom right of the post. If you hover over the number next to a post that shows it’s received some thumbs up, you’ll see members’ usernames who voted for that post.”
While some might laugh at the introduction of a simple change such as a “like” system, one needs to understand that a busy forum such as Web Hosting Talk – a top 1,440 destination on the Internet – commands millions of page views and insanely large amounts of traffic, every month; the new system appears to scale smoothly.
Other future additions in the horizon include a subforum dedicated to web host reviews:
“We’re working on a Reviews forum that should be launched this month. The forum will be populated via a form to make it easy to leave a review and maintain continuity within the Reviews forum. “
Before DNForum was launched in late 2001, Web Hosting Talk was the primary hub for discussions on domain names; it was there, that DNForum’s existence was brought to our attention!
Web Hosting Talk remains the premier forum to discuss web hosting matters, from server security to web hosting offers and specials.
