Last week we had the pleasure of hosting a webinar for our resellers with Phil Shih from Structure Research. He gave his “state of the hosting industry” presentation and got us all up to date on the trends that are shaping the industry as we pass the mid point of 2012.

Like all of our webinars, we recorded the presentation for those who weren’t able to attend live. Check it out, embedded below.

I’ll be hosting a free webinar this Thursday, August 9 at 11:00 A.M. (EDT) with Phil Shih from Structure Research.

If you weren’t at this year’s HostingCon conference in Boston, then this is a great opportunity to get informed and educated about the state of the hosting industry as we move through the second half of the year.

Phil Shih is the founder and Managing Director of Structure Research. Phil has covered the hosting infrastructure space for over a decade in various publications such as theWHIR.com, Computerworld, InfoWorld, Bizjournals, The Houston Chronicle and The E-commerce Times.

He’ll be providing a 45-minute long, third party overview of the state of the hosting and cloud infrastructure service industry and a projection of its future. The session will feature detailed discussion of industry trends, proprietary market share data and analysis and helpful advice on how to succeed in a rapidly changing marketplace.

As with all OpenSRS webinars, this is a free event and open to all to attend.

If you missed the webinar I hosted last week with Chris Campbell of goMobi, it’s now up and ready for on-demand viewing.

Chris did a great job presenting some super stats about the state of the mobile web in 2012 and about how goMobi provides an ideal solution for both resellers like you and your customers. He also took a look at some of the new features that were added to goMobi recently, and he gave us a bit of a sneak peek at what was on the roadmap for the next couple of releases.

Mobile Internet usage continues to grow and your customers are likely looking to you for ways to ensure that their websites are mobile ready.

On June 14, 2012, I’ll be hosting a free webinar with Chris Campbell, Director of Business Development, Afilias (the people behind the .MOBI domain extension and our goMobi mobile website solution).

Chris will provide a state of the mobile web to ensure that you have a good sense of where things are at in 2012, as far as mobile in concerned.

We’ll also show you some of the great new features available in goMobi. Version 1.6 was released earlier this year and boasts some pretty neat new stuff like mobile commerce, improved themes and custom icon support, and more.

Like all OpenSRS webinars, it’s free to attend. We’re offering two sessions to accommodate resellers around the world. Take your pick – the content will be the same for both sessions.

Register now!

I hope to see you there!

Last week I teamed up with Scott Allan, Director at Ting, to host a webinar to talk about the addition of Ting to our OpenSRS Offers service.

For those who aren’t aware, Ting is a new mobile phone service that Tucows launched in the US earlier this year.

Through OpenSRS Offers, we’re providing our Resellers with a way to bring Ting to your customers and get a nice reward in the process. Your customers get $50 off their first device purchase, you get 25% of the net revenue that they generate as a Ting customer for the first two years.

If you missed the webinar, don’t worry. We recorded the whole thing, just like we do for all of our monthly webinars.

View the recorded version on-demand.

Over the course of the hour-long presentation, we covered how Ting works, what makes it different, and we explained Ting’s unique approach to billing and customer service. Plus we provided some tips on how to marketing Ting, what kinds of resources we offer and some guidelines about Ting trademarks.
