Web Hosting Chat -  iWeb, a worldwide provider of Internet hosting services and IT infrastructure, was one of the first Internet hosts to use the blog as a means of communication with its customers, with the first article posted on the French version of their blog in February 2001, more than seven years ago.

More of a transformation than an update, the new blog is streamlined for rapid browsing and is divided into three main sections, in line with the interests of the various audiences. The items will be categorized as either; a) iWeb news, including press releases and anything new about the company, b) a ticket or post of technical interest for web developers and systems administrators and c) articles and news related to the web hosting industry in general.

A section dedicated to the “system status” will be visible at all times on the blog’s pages. This section keeps clients informed in real-time of any emergency, maintenance, intervention or any other occurrence that may affect one or more aspects of iWeb services. Once an event (even minor) arises, an article is immediately posted to inform customers and provide as much detail as possible.

The value of the blog is its use as a means of communication with all audiences iWeb, friends, customers, partners (and sometimes even competitors). With the clear objective of “opening and facilitating dialogue” rather than just ?sending? or disseminating information, the new iWeb blog can be found at: http://blog.iweb.com
