Many business people are glad to put 2008 in the rear view mirror and begin afresh in 2009. January is also traditionally a strong buying season for those customers who are selecting a new web hosting account. This also translates into a great selling environment for web hosting providers. The buying season spurs companies to compete aggressively for your web hosting dollars, and that leads companies to create special offers and promotions. I searched around The WHIR website and looked over a few promotional emails that I have recently received to create this list of web hosting deals for the New Year. I hope you can find something here that fits your web hosting needs.

Hostway offers free setup and extra RAM on dedicated servers - From a well known hosting provider that has been around for many years. You can double the RAM on a dedicated server that starts at $99 and pay no setup fee. See the offer here: http://www.hostway.com/dedicated-servers/promo/tf/index1.html#.

Superb Hosting offers 20 percent off on all dedicated servers - Another industry stalwart that has a long history with The WHIR.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. 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.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. 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.
