Are there any newsletters out there specifically geared to the web host?
Do you subscribe to any newsletters that cater to the web hosting industry?

Your input is greatly appreciated...

Not all newsletters are bad. Although almost all of them have advertising to support the newsletter, some really do have good articles and information.

Yes, I realize that newsletters are oftentimes considered spam. I'm looking for any of the good ones out there where you have opted to receive it, and it actually has good info. Surely there have to be some out there, no?

invoulentary ones are usually spam. [like when you signup to a website]
ones that are opt-in and have professional writers should be good though - if you like newsletters

I used to get a brilliant magazine, I can't recall the name but I have a whole stack of them somewhere, it was sent to me through the post, I think it was US based, but hosting being what it is, unfortunately it went out of print... other than that I haven't seen much to signup to...

SiteProNews has some nice articles from time to time. Go to www.sitepronews.com. What you see there is exactly what I get in my box, except for some additional unsubscribe info at the bottom.

It's not geared specifically for web hosts, but I get good information out of it...

You know, you can do a search through yahoo! directories.
They are paid ones, (well paid, I would say ;) ).
Let's assume, if they pay for being listed in one of the directories, they are rather trustworthy.
I think there are a couple of good e-zines.
Hope that helps you :)

Well, that's the thing. I did try searching (quite a bit) through Yahoo, google, etc. All I kept getting were newsletters geared generally to webmasters. I'm trying to find ones (if they exist) that are more for web hosts.
