Here’s an amazing opportunity for you from one of our sister companies. One product you may not have come across before is BlogHoster.

This nifty piece of software lets you provide a blog service to others, via your website. The service you can provide your users can be equated to Blogger, Typepad and Livejournal. These social networking / blog sites have the potential to explode a modest blog or blog network. If you have related products and services to promote then your blog hosting service can provide the perfect launching pad.

There’s also the option to have it installed on your server for free.

As the admin of your own blog hosting website you get control over every aspect of your user’s experience from how they sign up, how they write their new blogs and even how they interact with one another within your site. It creates a uniquely encapsulating experience for your users. The most beautiful thing about Bloghoster, however, is that the code is 100% unencrypted. In this bold move, the developers have given you full permission to twiddle, tweak and fiddle with the source code to make your service exactly as you want it. This is a step up from other related software, which typically uses some form of php encryption either server based or license key based to prevent you from really being able to manipulate your purchase.

GUI wise, the front end of Bloghoster is vanilla, letting you dictate your website’s “feel”. The product bundles with some example portals to give you an idea how to go (the code uses a system of Tags to allow the easy placement of key modules such as login and so on). The client forums also have users sharing their own mods, templates and portals.

Along with giving you somewhere to promote your own stuff, the script allows you to place adverts such as google adsense automatically on all the blogs you host.

Your users will benefit from the added features such as interactive profiles, friendships, photo uploads and albums, blog categories and all sorts. You can check out the website for the full feature list. If you buy Bloghoster you will also get free upgrades and the developers are currently releasing updates once per month with new features, bug fixes and general tweaks based on feedback from the client base.

Recently, on NPR, we heard a story about online virtual worlds and how people are making real money by exchanging virtual goods for cold hard cash. How intriguing. The games mentioned were Second Life, World of Warcraft and Ultima Online.

It got us wondering whether we were hosting any online virtual games where real cash could be earned. So after looking around a bit, it turns out that we are hosting a really cool site called Medevil Wars. It’s a turn based game that you play in your browser, themed after Medevil times. By doing various skill based activities on your turn, and based on the game rules, you can earn gold. Occassionally there are cash rounds and the winner of the cash round gets a cash prize. Pretty cool, eh?

If you’re into online gaming or want to get started, you should definitely check out Medevil Wars!

One of our most successful hosting customers, TexasWeddings.com Wedding Guide, serves the San Antonio and Austin Texas regions with detailed and highly practical wedding guides.

It is extremely gratifying for us to know that we are hosting some of the best, most well executed web businesses on the net. As a way of saying thanks to our customers, each month we like to highlight one of the best sites on our servers.

This month we’ve chosen to highlight the company Fusilly. Fusilly specializes in culturally relevant, funny and intelligent t-shirts for men and women.

Launched just a year ago, Fusilly now features a wide selection of shirts for all tastes and topics. They’ve even released new shirts for the holiday season. From irreverant to intelligent, Fusilly T-Shirts are sure to catch your attention and make you laugh out loud.

So if you’re looking for that perfect holiday gift for a college student or just any conoisseur of humor, make sure to check out Fusilly.

One of the great things about being a webhost is getting to know about all the great people and businesses who use our services. It is in that spirit that Colorteck will begin featuring sites on our network that we feel proud to host.

The first site that we’ve discovered (and now love) is the rare watch parts company WatchPart.co.uk. Discovering WatchPart was enthralling to us because it epitomizes the great promise of the internet - the ability to start a top notch, one of a kind company and offer a service that people really need. As a huge fan and collector of old watches and clocks, simply browsing through their site makes my heart skip a few beats. You’ll know what I mean if you’re a collector of any kind.

WatchPark offers a large variety of watch related materials from movements, glasses, cases, dials, bezels , service kits and quite a bit more. Plus, they are constantly adding to their inventory.

WatchPart is a great niche business that meets a very specialized need. In today’s internet world, that is the proper way to do a business: focus on an underserved, highly specialized, but high-demand need.
