Talking SBI

Sounds like a good deal especially the fact I hear folks are also using their tools and implementing what they've learned for their other sites not hosted by SBI(as long as they don't cancel for that one site)

That part of your message struck me. That is so true. I talk to Ken on the phone from time to time and he's amazing. He's so in tune with why people fail and making SBI! better. He wants people to succeed.

At the same time, he's definitely aware that SBI! lacks some of the other "traditional web hosting features" that people want, like hosting multiple domains, MYSQL support, etc. but you if you think back to what SBI! was like in 2000 when it first launched, it has come a looooooooooooooooooooong way.

In fact, that's why I didn't buy it at first. I thought it was too archaic. And in some ways it still is to someone who is more advanced with website development. But as Ken says time and time again, it's not necessarily the features that make the money. It's the content and your unique voice.

But I tell you what... when SBI! does finally add more of those "traditional host features" and people can host forums, chat rooms, wordpress blogs, etc... look out web hosting world!

LOL, I used to work as their Affiliate Manager and when I worked for them I moderated the forums. I don't anymore though. This forum keeps me busy enough! But we keep in touch from time to time.

Now you've pre-sold me guys. Not merely for the anticipated future updates but mainly for the above Quote. When I raise enough money, SBI here I come!

That's great to hear webman! You'll have to keep us updated on your SBI! status.

LOL- I love this line...made me laugh! Lisa you're very lucky... I'm waiting till right before I become ultra-successful to give Ken a call (he lives about 20 min away from me) to invite him for lunch and thank him for his wonderful WONDERFUL service
