About Ben's Hosting
Ben's Hosting is a hosting company run by Ben Balbo. Ben has been in the hosting business since 1998, both with partners and on his own. Recently, he was becoming infuriated with the amount of spam he received. Even the best junk email filters can't stop the fact that you still have to download all that email and wait for the filters to recognise spam.
Ben's Hosting was created in order to address this issue. While there are many hosting companies around, most concentrate on the web hosting. While Ben's Hosting also offers great web hosting, comparable with any other provider you can find, it specialises in great email hosting.
About Ben Balbo
Ben Balbo was born in Germany, grew up in the UK, lives in Melbourne and likes Guinness.
While he isn't drinking Guinness (which is most of the time in Melbourne, as it just doesn't taste the same), he earns a living running his own hosting company, as a PHP developer and trainer, security consultant and Open Source developer. He also drinks a fair amount of coffee.
He has been known to talk in public about web development related topics, which comes as part of the package of being on the committee of both the Melbourne PHP User Group and Open Source Developers' Club. Although he wouldn't admit this, his participation at this level is secretly only in order to go to restaurants or pubs after the meetings.
