March 21, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting and telecommunications provider XO Communications (xo.com) announced on Monday it is expanding its XO Ethernet Services to businesses and service providers on a wholesale basis.
The Ethernet over copper technology will extend the reach of its Ethernet services footprint beyond its fiber network to businesses served by last mile copper. Businesses at copper-fed locations can now use the expanded XO Ethernet path in more than 60 metropolitan markets to connect multiple locations or receive high-speed, IP-ready network access.
The service enables businesses with widely dispersed locations served by either fiber or copper facilities can integrate all of their offices and employees onto one corporate network and for high-speed Internet access.
"The ability to extend the reach of XO Ethernet Services will be a major boost to business customers as they grapple with an ever-expanding world of content and applications across geographically diverse locations," says Charlie Cary, VP of marketing at XO Communications. "In addition, XO Ethernet Services eliminate network bottlenecks and unnecessary costs to improve the operation, management, and performance of their vital communications infrastructure."

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.

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.
