Maintaining and building toward phase 2
As I've mentioned in the News Wire on BeSquishy, the next phase will add a whole new dimension to our services. In Phase 2 we will finally unveil a basic implementation of our hosting platform. Even as we prepare for the move into Phase 2, we are setting goals and organizing ideas for future features and services to provide. It seems as if each conversation brings something new to the drawing board and a glimpse into the possibilities that await. As a friend of ours would say, "I'm fired up!"

Getting closer
Everything is on Schedule
Web Hosting 3.0 - Part 2
- In Part 1 I talked about my history as a web developer and what eventually convinced me to create a next generation hosting service.
A Little Hosting History
Web hosting started out as static HTML pages. With the introduction of web scripting languages, web hosting moved on to allow web masters to create web applications without virtually any limits. The next generation of hosting is based on decentralization of the web. In other words, you are no longer confined to a single service, you are now able to enjoy the benefits of different services from different companies.
The dynamic web gives us the ability to move beyond static web sites and implement live updates, easy editing, and cross-platform web applications. Web 2.0 is the catch phrase lately that takes credit for such things, but they have been around for a while...they just haven't been taken advantage of until recently. Web Hosting 3.0 is just over the horizon. If you don't believe me, look at some of the things Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! have recently put in the spotlight. Mashups and open APIs are all the buzz. Web Hosting 3.0 will not be a demand for web application developers, instead the users will be in control of what they want their websites to be. Imagine thinking of a new application and being able to create it within a few minutes, without ever writing a single line of scripting or code. That is Web Hosting 3.0, that is what Invenotech and BeSquishy.com are all about.
Even though we see the future, everything doesn't happen at once. For the past 10 months, we have been working vigorously on development of a hosting platform suitable for Web Hosting 3.0. The basic framework is in place and solid, but it will take a little while longer to perfect our APIs enough to make any user a true master of his/her domain. In the meantime, we will provide applications that will enrich your hosting experience. We aren't a fad, we're the future.
To be continued...
