HostingCon Kicks Off in Austin

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Web hosting conference kicks off in Austin, Texas.

The annual HostingCon conference kicked off in Austin this morning, with organizers expecting 1,500 or more attendees. I count over 115 vendors who will be showing their wares on Tuesday and Wednesday. A number of exhibitors are domain name companies who want to get hosting companies to sell their products including domain name registrations. Among the domain name companies are:

Afilias
DotMobi (which is running the official HostingCon mobile site at hostingcon.mobi)
eNom
ResellerClub and Logic Boxes
VeriSign
Yexa (new product from Dark Blue Sea)
OpenSRS/Tucows

Of course there are bunch more domain companies here that aren’t exhibiting, including DomainSponsor.

There are a number of parallels between a web hosting conference and a domain name conference. It’s primarily men and primarily tech geeks.

You can follow the conference at #hostingcon.

    sorry that I didnt see you there, but i had a laugh at the opening reception i was talking to Candice from WHIR, and she says “you have a twin around here” and it ends up she was referring to you! never knew we looked that alike but i think its the second time, at DMG someone also thought i was you from your picture in the show schedule. :)
