January 3, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Online marketing solutions company Oversee.Net (oversee.net) announced on Thursday that it has successfully completed its acquisition of domain asset management services provider Moniker (moniker.com) for an undisclosed amount. Moniker operations will remain in Pompano Beach, Florida and will continue to be led by Monte Cahn, president of Moniker.
Oversee.Net acquired domain name auction leader SnapNames (snapnames.com) last June and the company believes the addition of Moniker will give Oversee.Net a complete set of services to cement its leadership position in the domain name secondary market. Oversee.Net says it plans to integrate Moniker's live auction and back-office services to SnapNames Live to offer the industry's most comprehensive live and silent auction services.
The first demonstration of the integration will be at DOMAINfest Global later this month where SnapNames Live will lead and conduct the auction with Moniker providing valuation and escrow services.
"We are delighted that Monte Cahn and his team of experienced professionals are becoming part of the Oversee family," says Lawrence Ng, CEO and co-founder of Oversee. "Our primary objective, as a company, is to continue adding and developing capabilities that offer customers a greater breadth of products and services. Moniker is widely respected by industry players and has a reputation for knowledge, security, and professionalism."
Last month at PubCon Las Vegas 2007, Moniker says it sold more than $325,000 in premium domain names.

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.
