It’s about time…
It’s about time to give up the excuses and actually start creating a web log of my own. My name is Bill Laakkonen. I am the founder of Im1 Web Hosting, now in our tenth year of service. Over at Im1 we have helped others run their own ‘blogs’ since before they were called blogs (among other things). We (Ryan Williams and I) started the world’s first hosting service dedicated to running the code created by slashdot, called slashhosting.com. The domain name incidentally was the first name ever registered in Tucow’s OpenSRS registry.
Slashcode is not the challenge that it used to be for installation and as a result, we don’t do much new stuff at slashhosting.com anymore. Just about any regular hosting account can easily run software such as WordPress with a simple 5 minute installation.
So here I am. Finally. Oh, by the way, the opinions and views expressed by me here are mine personally and do not represent my employer.
