Best Web Image released this weekend the Webmaster Wiki. It’s a wiki for webmasters developed by webmasters. The wiki is to create some harmony and consistencies amongst webmasters in regards to terms, styles, and the general way they do things. This is good for webmasters, and great for the end users. Anyone can edit it, or reference it, even non-webmasters. Registered editors are also allowed to create their own page, listing their services and sites they do.

Here is another VOIP for you, DallasXtreme. DallasXteme specializes in Ventrilo Server and Ventrilo Hosting. They also secure their service with GoDaddy’s SSL. The cool thing about DallasXtreme right now? You get a 50% discount is you use the promo code “Summer09″. Obviously, this coupon is only good for a little while longer.

They also host Teamspeak servers, and comparing rates the prices are the same. Most of my experience is the Teamspeak so that is the route I usually go.

Current monthly rates are as follows:

• 10 Users – $2.48
• 15 Users – $3.48
• 25 Users – $5.48
• 50 Users – $9.48

Looking at those rates you can see there is pretty much no excuse to not get a host for your gaming needs. On the Ventrilo servers you can actually host up to 400 users. That’s a $119.95 a month. That will also be a killer deal if you used the promo deal they are currently doing.

Playing online is always fun, and being able to actually talk to others while you are doing it makes it even better. Hosting a Ventrilo Server on your own IP is just dumb though. It will completely swallow up your own bandwidth. The best way to go? Use a server like DallasXtreme’s and let them do the hosting. Low cost, high quality, and more bandwidth for you!

Have a game server already? How about a VOIP server?

From the same people that bring you Counter Strike gaming servers, Game Data Inc., you can also get Teamspeak Servers, and Ventrilo Server Hosting.

I personally use Teamspeak severs, but either way you go, the prices are the same.

Using their service you can get host a Teamspeak server for just $2.69 a month for a 10 spot server up to $78.12 a month or a 400 spot server. They pretty much cater to any size group you have. You can also get monthly discounts if you buy time in advance.

Some of their features for their Teamspeak servers:

• Instant Server Setup
• 24/7/365 Customer Service!
• Easy Online Control Panel
• No Bandwidth Limit
• No Codec Restrictions
• Mac Codecs Available!
• 100% Gaming Network
• 9 Workdwide Locations

They actually have 21 world wide locations for the Ventrilo servers. Both, Ventrilo and Teamspeak servers, require software on your end to operate. As the admin you will need to bits of software. One to manage the server from your PC, and another to connect by voice. Software for this is fortunately free, and if you are gaming you may already have it installed.

Game Data Inc. has been around for a few years now, and is considered one of the best for VOIP and hosting gaming severs.

Into playing games online? How about Half Life or it’s spin off Counter Strike. The Counter Strike Version is what makes Half Life kick butt, playing online with friends. If you are looking for real action, and not bogging down your own PC by running a virtual server through your ISP, a good way to go is by using Counter-Strike.

Counter-Strike is a gaming server site, where you can connect with others on your own private game server. The servers are dedicated to the games you like to play, and can be set up in minutes.

Here are the games they support:

• Counter-Strike Source
• Half-Life
• Garry’s Mod
• Team Fortress, 1 and 2
• Killing Floor
• Zombie Panic
• Call of Duty
• and a bunch more with different versions.

Prices vary based on number of players, and for how long you want to set up the lease. You can get discounts for ordering longer than one month. They also support getting add-ons like Teamspeak so you can chatter with your friends with a super low cost voice over.

Counter Strike is supported by the guys at Game Data, Inc. They have been around for a few years now, and if you are not hosting a game server yourself is probably your best bet. Low cost, and servers all around the United States.

Free UK Job Boards lets you post your vacancies free for thirty days.  This UK based website helps small business owners fill their job positions with out forking out the big dollars like you have to do on most classified sites.

UK Jobs Only

The UK Job Board allows only UK job listings. Any type of job listings are allowed, but the main categories are: Accountancy, Customer Service, Heath Care, Information Technology, and Sales.

After speaking to the owner I found that the site had been around for nearly four years, but with the recent change in economy traffic jumped up. That meant new layout, and actual listings! More people looking, means more people using their search function. Besides having a simple search form, you can also search by selecting the part time, full time, or freelance option.

If you are the employer know that submitting your listing will take about just two minutes. There is no registration required. All you have to do is put in your contact information, details about the job, and your done. It’s a simply one page form, and now would be the time to take advantage of it. That form is currently free to fill out.

Major problem with the site? No web usability experts needed:(
