Inv-Host 2005 (ConceptTopic, 9)

From Compile Worlds

Inv-Host 2005 (or IH05 for short) was Keiji's first attempt at creating an interactive website using PHP and MySQL. Since his previous website OSGC's hosting had died in the absence of its owner, he decided to host IH05 on his Windows XP laptop using XAMPP. The website was intended to be a combination of a forum and a wiki. It was started around April 20, 2005.

The "inv" in the name comes from his then-new nickname, iNVERTED, while the "host" comes from the fact that it was hosted on his own computer. Interestingly, at the time this website was around, there was an actual website at http://www.invhost.co.uk/ (which was a hosting company), but this website has now vanished.

InvHost (IH05 and IH06 combined) was Keiji's first and only use of Japanese text, namely Katakana, in his website's logo.
