With just a few weeks to go until HostingCon 2009, I sat down with Director of Domain Services Adam Eisner to see if I could get him to reveal some nuggets from his presentation “20 Ways to Outsmart Your Competitors.”

Web hosting is a competitive business, and these are challenging times, but Adam has talked to hundreds of hosting companies over the years and has seen what separates the winners from the also-rans. According to him, so many companies do the same things, and it’s the ones who do things just a little bit differently who are having the most success. In this brand-new presentation, he’ll share some ways that web hosts can gain a competitive edge.

Though he was reluctant, I convinced him to reveal one of his 20 tips.

Simple, but effective. If you’re coming to HostingCon, make sure you plan to attend Adam’s presentation. It takes place on Tuesday August 11th, from 12:45-1:45pm in the Marketing and Sales track. We’re hoping to make it available later to those not able to attend.

As well, don’t forget to stop by the OpenSRS booth (#440) in the Exhibits Hall. We’ll have some fun giveaways, as well as a draw for a Dell Adamo laptop, valued at over $2,000.

HostingCon is fast approaching and if you want to take advantage of early-bird pricing, you’d better hurry, because it ends on June 29th. What’s HostingCon, you’re asking? Only the largest gathering of hosting professionals in the world. We have full details over at our brand-new events page, along with a handy registration link.
