(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Following the release of Parallels Plesk Panel 9 on its dedicated server hosting plans, Canadian web hosting provider Cirrus Tech (www.cirrushosting.com) has announced the availability of the Plesk 9 control panel on its Linux virtual private server hosting plans.
After thorough testing of Parallels Plesk Panel 9, according to the company's Friday announcement, Cirrus Tech is pleased with its stability and performance on its VPS accounts.
Cirrus Tech sales manager Mani Aminian said that the new control panel will particularly help Cirrus Tech's VPS hosting clients who use their plans to host their own clients. "With Plesk 9, there is a new reseller mode which allows Cirrus Tech clients to sign up their own clients and resell web hosting services to them," Aminian said in a statement.
The control panel's new version also allows for complete integration with APS Catalog and Parallels Plesk Billing, giving clients a complete reseller hosting solution on their VPS. Aside from technical improvements, Plesk 9 offers a new, contemporary look and streamlined interface.
Cirrus Tech already uses Parallels' Virtuozzo technology to create isolated Linux VPS plans, which all support Plesk 9 on a variety of popular Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core, and openSUSE.
Adoption of Parallels Plesk Panel 9 is Cirrus Tech's latest improvement in a series of recent renovations. In October 2008, Cirrus Tech announced it would expand its hosted offerings to include Hosted Exchange and SharePoint Services. Also in October, the company updated its Linux and Windows reseller hosting plans to host up to 50 domains and act as a hosting reseller.

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.
