New Video on WHIR tv- Interview with John Kane, VP of Corporate Services-Afilias
Today's video features John Kane, VP of Corporate Services with Afilias. Kane was an easy and affable interview, concisely explaining the role of Afilias in the world of hosting. 
Most importantly, Kane shares with us the exciting information regarding their newly launched managed DNS service.
Kane goes into detail describing how this service can help to remove single point of failure from within an organization. Afilias will take care of management on their behalf. He also goes into the challenges administrators face when they're managing their DNS security, but I'll let him tell you about that.

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.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through.
