March 21, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Budget hosting provider Freewebs (freewebs.com) announced on Wednesday it has added "widgetized" Freewebs Forums to its catalog of Web site building tools. Now, any site administrator can create and manage customized forums on a full range of topics, including politics, music, sports, stock quotes, parenting, fashion and books.
Freewebs Forums can run simultaneously in multiple places throughout the Web, displaying the same content regardless of where the forum resides. And unlike other forum software, Freewebs Forums' unique login and registration process keeps visitors on member sites rather then sending them to another host site.
The new forum works using simple point-and-click, drag-and-drop commands, and do not require any prior HTML knowledge. Freewebs Forums administrators can select from varying colors to coordinate and compliment their site?s design, can position certain topics at the top of other discussions and enable stats to show how many posts, replies and topic views the forum has received.
"Someday everyone in the world will have a Web site, thanks to Freewebs, and the 17 million people and counting who have already built Web sites on Freewebs have come to expect unprecedented ease-of-use in creating multimedia sites and blogs," says Shervin Pishevar, Freewebs president. "The ease of adding Freewebs Forums to any site will unleash millions of conversations. Having this ability is just one more attribute that helps Freewebs users increase their visibility while adding value to their own regular user?s experience."

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.
