The question is simple,

Share how you ended up finding webhostingtalk.com...

I think this should be interesting...

thanks.

cant remember exactly,
but I think I ended up here from a thread link in a search engine result.......

Maybe should be in the general forum?

But hay I found it hmmm ... I mate told me :cool:

I was searching about 6 months ago for a web hosting account, found a web host i liked. But never heard anything about them, i then searched for a "web host review" type deal, and i came accross WHT. I lurked the boards for a guest for 3 months, and then finally registered. Must say i am very glad i found this site.

Had to think about that for a while... I travelled here after seeing WHT mentioned a few times in the usenet newsgroup alt.www.webmaster.

I too am trying to think about this very question, i think i came across it through yahoo...i cant remember exactly though...

Oh and if this is in the wrong forum, i apoligize.

I was searching for a new webhost and a friend of mine gave me the link to this place and told me to check it out. :stickout

I was searching for a host and working up a massive headache. While relieving that headache by numbing my mind on the sweet looking cases at hardforum.com I stumbled into the "Webmastering & Programming" section.

There's a sticky thread with a link to here in that section. Needless to say I now have a host and my headache is gone. :)

I think I actually got here from hostinvestigator and I think that was Matts first site, and then he opened WHT.

I, too, was searching for a new host and through some search engine (can't remember which) I found hostinvestigator.com. The bookmark I actually had for the longest time was that URL instead of webhostingtalk.com. Been addicted ever since... :)

I got here from a link thru Metafilter (http://www.metafilter.com/)

Errr... my friend told me

hostinvestigator.com

I don't remember how I found this place, glad I did though :)

Looking for a dedicated server (a while ago) I saw a link saying , "Welcome Webhostingtalk Members", searched in Google about WHT, and I find it.
I can't remember now which host was the one with the link.

I was looking to get some hosting related domains, but WHT was allready taken :) best whois search i have ever made

wow, its good to hear people still remember hostinvestigator, god! that brings back some stories... *gw*

I found it through http://www.freewebspace.net :)

My own stupidity! :D

I don't have a clue.

Probably from one of my mates.

No remember :look:

I think I found it from google!! Glad I did. :D

Google while looking for hosting related sites.

A friend recently told me about it when he knew I was searching for a new host. :)

Boss told me

It is amazing to see how many word of mouth people are here...

More than likely word of mouth, if not then I cant remember ;)

I came across it in my process of doing a hand count of every web site for Al Gore (the inventor of the internet). I have been keying every possible combination of url characters and seeing if a site exists. I am also counting Chads (domains with 'this domain is registration pages'), and Hanging Chads (registered domains that don't go anywhere). I am currently at aaaafx24yawc-ufklv.com.

My try at humor today.

Actually I think I found it through Yahoo or MSN search.

Scared me for a second there Eclipse :laugh:

Last summer when we were starting up our hosting company Chris from technohosts told us about this place and once we came we loved it!

Someone mentioned it at geekvillage.com when I was searcing for a webhost. Been here ever since.

1 year ago...
this year started hosting biz
came back
and...created user :)

I think it was a host in Qld that couldn't help me but suggested i try this place, and i kept coming back.

You can never get enough of a good thing.

Cynic

I am another person who found this place through freewebspace.net. For a moment, people would post in the paid hosting section of FWS and EVERYBODY would tell them to go to WHT.

Also, Chicken is at both, even though he spends an awful lot of time HERE, and not bery much THERE.

God pointed me towards it.

:) :) :)

my boss told me about it and I started reading around about a year ago I guess

Wanted to make my own hosting forum and thought it would be an original idea so I did some research and found this forum :)

Google... The greatest invention in the last 5 years...

Google :cool:

and

Google again!

Yes, I simply forgot the URL and never bookmarked. So searched again ;)

Surprisingly, i couldn't remember how i come across wHT. But I find WHT is quite a very good forum with many users online to have 'instant' interaive discussion around and probably a good forum to get someone help solve your problem. ( can be off-webhost topic :) )

Gordon Hudson from hostroute.com told me about webhostingtalk.com in alt.www.webmaster. I asked some hosting related questions and he recommended checking out this site.

Here's exactly what he said:
“Hello
Have a look at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ you will find lots of discussion about this there.”

That’s how I got started :D

A guy from http://www.nameroute.co.uk referreled me here about 3 months ago. I'm soo glad he did now.

I looked in the "Hosting (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=11)" section of vBulletin.com's forum when I was looking to switch hosts, and saw a link in one of the posts ...

if i remember correctly i stumbled on it when i was looking for free webspace (in my younger years) on www.freewebspace.net

either a search engine or someone told me

I've been here so long, I don't even remember... I'm just glad I did.

I remember like 3 months ago i was looking for some good webhosting forums couse like i was looking for web hosting but nothing good came up so i just typed in webhostingtalk.com to see if anything existed and then i found a host and like two months after i registered then chitty chitty bang bang..

Well my friend told be about this site. So i came here and started posting.

Hmm.. back in the days... one of my client told me about it..

I had been researching web hosting all over, and came across this thoughtful article with a link here...

http://www.forumhosts.com/hosts2.htm

and things have never been the same. ;)

I cannot remember exactly how, I found webhostingtalk, but I am sure glad I did.

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever. Somehow I found it in June last year, no idea how, but I'm definately glad that I did. :)
