(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Specializing in reseller hosting, UK web host, Heart Internet (www.heartinternet.co.uk), has announced the launch of its white label iPhone control panel for resellers, letting its resellers use their iPhone to manage client's domain names and all their web hosting accounts, including adding brand new hosting accounts.

According to Heart Internet's announcement, its iPhone control panel also lets resellers view system status updates and keep control of expenses by accessing their invoices, as well as access webmail, view analytics data, and backup and restore websites. Heart Internet resellers can also give their clients the ability to manage their own web hosting accounts through their iPhone using a white label and customisable control panel.

"We have always prided ourselves on being at the forefront of reseller hosting technology providing our customers with flexible white label products." Said Heart Internet director Jonathan Brealey "Our iPhone control panel provides resellers and their clients with the latest technology whilst ensuring our resellers maintain a coherent brand and Heart Internet is never exposed to their clients."

The Reseller iPhone control panel is free with all Heart Internet reseller hosting accounts.

Just as the iPhone has proven a very useful accessory for web hosting customers, it has also given rise to opportunities for web hosts to attract customers by making their services more attractive whether for controlling physical servers, cloud infrastructure or somewhere in between.

In March 2009, Chicago-based managed web hosting provider SingleHop (www.singlehop.com) released a robust and feature rich remote web hosting control panel for the iPhone that lets dedicated server customers access administration functions on-the-go. SingleHop.mobi lets customers reboot servers, view bandwidth charts, submit standard and priority tickets, manage billing and view other server details.

Also in 2009, Rochester, New York-based Direct Thought (www.directthought.com) started development on an iPhone console application that monitors and controls a user's Amazon Web Services' (aws.amazon.com) EC2 environment from their phone, giving administrators access and control of their EC2 instances and volumes, as well as having control over snapshots, addresses and keypairs, all from the touch screen of their cell phone.

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.
