February 21, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider SingleHop (singlehop.com) announced on Tuesday it is providing servers and complete dedicated managed hosting services to nonpartisan media organization Free Press (freepress.net).
The Web hosting provider says it has partnered with Free Press to aid in its attempt to preserve net neutrality. Free Press says its message is being delivered through its Web site, as well as Savetheinternet.com.
According to the Free Press Web site, "Congress is being pushed to abandon the First Amendment of the Internet, a principle called net neutrality that preserves the free and open Internet." The media organization has posted an online petition to gather signatures that are sent to Congress to voice the opinions of those in opposition and its Web site states that global public control of the Internet is being challenged by major communications companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.
"This is probably one of the most critical times for the Internet and we are going to do everything that we can to insure that this important message is disseminated to as many people as possible," says Zak Boca, president of SingleHop.

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.
