Parallels Hosting Summit 2008 - Video Interview with Serguei Beloussov
While we were at Parallels' third annual hosting summit, we not only brought you a look at what some of the exhibitors and attendees thought of the event, but we had the opportunity to sit down with Serguei Beloussov, CEO of Parallels.
This year's record attendance (as has been mentioned numerous times) was certainly something that made this summit stand out, but this particular event was also the first one to be held under the new, more "optimized" Parallels brand. We asked Serguei how he thought it turned out and about his vision for service providers and ISVs.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team

We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
