Host Society Opens Social Networking Destination for the Web Hosting Industry

Web hosting industry professionals can network and socialize in a non-business setting.

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich., March 17, 2009 – Host Society (http://www.hostsociety.net) today launched the first social networking destination focused exclusively on the Web hosting industry, offering a platform for industry professionals to network and socialize in a non-business setting.

While Host Society offers similar functionality to the Web’s preeminent social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, it offers a unique affinity for internet professionals and builds community around shared interests. Users can interact through a wide collection of features, including personal blogs, classified postings, event listings, clubs, eCards, chat rooms, and forums.

“We’re not trying to take down News Corporation or spread to college campuses around the world. Instead, Host Society is carving out a unique niche that builds upon the tight-knit and well connected network of professionals in the Web hosting industry,” said Zachary McClung, Host Society founder.

Host Society is intended to be used as a community venue for social activities that are not necessarily business related. Users can join groups, invite friends to special events and gatherings, vote on polls, and chat casually in the forums.

“Users grow beyond their user name—they become part of the community, and the Web hosting industry desperately needs a platform like this,” said McClung.

Host Society is advertising supported and free to use. The site is hosted by TurnKey Internet (http://www.turnkeyinternet.net).
