January 18, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web technologies provider Sun Microsystems (sun.com) announced on Thursday that three new customers have deployed Sun Fire CoolThreads servers powered by the Solaris 10 operating system.
Vonage, PlanetOut and Concentric have each deployed Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers to increase space, efficiency and savings in power and cooling.
The Sun Fire T1000 and T2000 servers, available for just over a year, are two of the fastest ramping products in Sun's history, says the company. Combined they represent more than $100 million in revenue per fiscal quarter and have played a key role in helping Sun achieve three straight quarters of server revenue growth, according to the IDC Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker.
"The T1000 and T2000 are key pistons in our growth engine, delivering virtually unmatched performance and energy efficiency versus the competition, delivering a range of benefits for customers and providing a vehicle for us to enter new accounts," says John Fowler, executive vice president of Sun Microsystems. "With the reliability and scalability of Solaris 10, these machines are winning new customers for Sun every day."

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.
