As a test, we will start to add hosting coupons to some of our reviews. Most of our visitors are looking for a new web host, and we thought it would be a great service to provide them with the best discounts available.

The first review to get coupons incorporated, is the GoDaddy review. Use the following coupons to get great discounts on any of GoDaddy’s services:

• promo10 – 10% off your entire order
• promo20 – 20% off shared hosting (minimum 12 months)
• promo530 – Save $5 off any order of $30 or more
• promo749 – Save $3 on .com registrations, transfers and renewals
• promossl – $12.99 standard SSL certificates (normally $29.95)

Thanks to Promo-Code.net who have submitted the coupons. You can finde more Go Daddy coupons on their site.

If you have any suggestions to which web hosting companies we should provide coupons for next, or if you are aware of any hosting coupons, please let us know in the comments, or send us an email.

This table shows how many frontpage stories each website had in 2007. YouTube was on the frontpage more than 3000 times in 2007, but maybe even more impressive is that Ars Technica had on average 3 stories/day on the frontpage and Engadget, The Raw Story and Gizmodo had close to 2 stories/day made popular.

Number of frontpage stories per domain:

Digg.com has been incredible popular in 2007 and is growing from day to day. Now at the end of the year it’s time to look back and see what made the frontpage of Digg.com in 2007.

Top 10 most popular stories month for month:

Ever seen a picture with somebody in the background that totally ruins that “intimate photo”? Or something going on that completely disrupts the purpose of the picture… Here are 20 photos in which there are unexpected elements or people in the background doing crazy things.

Any respectable wannabe Web 2.0 company has a company blog, because – well – all the others have.

iPowerWeb has been running their blog since March 2007. It’s surprisingly active with close to 400 posts in less than nine months, so it looks like they are pretty serious about their blog.

Two things make them look less professional though:

• They are using Blogger as their blogging platform
• They are running ads on their company blog

For some weird reason iPowerWeb is showing Google AdSense ads on their company blog. I can’t think of one good reason to do this, but several reasons to why this a bad idea come to mind.

First and foremost because they are showing ads for competing web hosting companies on their own blog:

Does a company which host more than 700,000 websites really need the extra dollars AdSense brings them? In my opinion it’s almost as stupid as monetizing your users 404 pages.

We are soon ready to relaunch Webhosty with a new design, new features and this blog.
