January 12, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Colocation provider IXEurope (ixeurope.com) said on Thursday that it had launched IXLAN, a service that enables its customers to connect to each other over ethernet networks.
IXLAN, part of the company's IXConnect family of products, is a monthly subscription-based product that offers 10MB, 100MB, 1GB and 10GB port connections.
Subscribers to the service can buy or sell services and peer with any IXEurope customer connected to the same IXLAN. They also have the option of connecting to a single data center, data centers in a single country or all of IXEurope's data centers.
The company says IXLAN will help customers reduce costs and increase data speeds.
"As an innovative and customer-focused company, IXEurope continues to develop new services as the market and our customer base evolves," says Guy Willner, CEO of IXEurope. "Over the past year, customers have become more sophisticated in the services they require to run their networks. With our new IXLAN service, customers are now able to access a much broader range of services beyond the offering of most single-network service providers. We have seen enormous interest as we start to implement the networks in the UK, Germany and Switzerland."

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.
