January 31, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet consolidation company NetSky (netskyholdings.com) announced on Tuesday it has launched an online digital photo hosting service called PictureFlex.com (pictureflex.com).
PictureFlex is a digital photo hosting service that provides Internet users with free storage for their digital photos online. Users can sign up for free and post their digital photo album to be displayed openly to the general public or keep all of the digital photos private.
NetSky says the company plans on generating revenue from the Web site in three ways, including by offering interested advertisers banner space and links, premium storage services for a fee and by offering members quality products, such as actual bound photo albums, that contain their choice of digital photos.
"NetSky owns the code and software for PictureFlex and we believe that PictureFlex is an important part of building a portfolio of value-added, revenue generating Web sites," says Robert Thayer, CEO of NetSky. "PictureFlex is a great hosting or storage site for digital photos. It's simple to use and allows members to upload their photo images and store them online with no fuss."

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.
