February 23, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- EURid (eurid.eu), the domain registry for the.eu domain, announced on Friday it is now inviting members of the public to submit their comments on a draft version of the .eu Code of Conduct (coc.eu), which it previously released amongst its accredited registrars.
The registry first proposed the concept of a .eu Code of Conduct several months ago, explaining it as an incentive for subscribing registrars to provide a high quality of service, until later releasing a draft version of the Code to registrars for assessment in December 2006. Registrars have since been able to comment on the Code and EURid is now inviting the general public to also do the same.
The Code will be implemented on March 29 and registrars subscribing to it will be listed on the official Code of Conduct Web site. The Code will used to handle domain name issues that are difficult to regulate adequately in a legal context.
Acting as a secretariat for the Code of Conduct, the .eu registry will launch a platform for receiving complaints against registrars subscribing to the Code. Meanwhile, the Conduct will be governed by an elected Council of Conduct -- a self regulating body consisting of members of .eu registrar community, the Internet community and a EURid representative.
"We felt the time had come to recognize accredited registrars offering a best in class service and that a Code of Conduct was the ideal way in which to do this," says Bob Walraet, business manager at EURid. "The registry believes that allowing registrars subscribing to the Code to carry the official subscriber logo on their Web sites will enable the public to make a more informed decision when choosing which accredited registrar to use when registering their .eu domains."

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.
