February 19, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Mosso (mosso.com), a venture company of Rackspace (rackspace.com), announced on Tuesday that it has launched a new version of its core hosting offering, The Hosting Cloud.
Mosso says that The Hosting Cloud is an advanced, cross-platform cloud computing offering that, for the first time, allows for seamless scalability. The new approach eliminates the cost and complexity of scaling Web infrastructure, specifically for developers and companies looking to deploy large Web applications, says the company.
Currently, for $100 per month, The Hosting Cloud comes with 500GB bandwidth, 50GB disk space and three million Web requests per month as well as around-the-clock live technical support and online software to manage projects and clients. The solution also offers unlimited Web applications and email accounts and as traffic grows, customers 'pay-as-they-grow' through Mosso's utility pricing model that delivers capacity when and where it?s needed. Additional disk space beyond base membership can be purchased for $0.50 per GB, $0.25 per GB for additional bandwidth and $0.03 per extra 1,000 requests.
"At Mosso, our mission is to deliver on the promise of cloud computing - to make it as easy as possible for people to deploy and run Web applications," says Todd Morey, co-founder of Mosso. "We say code it, load it and go. We want to deliver the best possible service and support to our customers so that they can focus on running their businesses, not their applications."
Rackspace recently partnered with third-party logistics software provider 3PL Central.

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.
