April 9, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet service provider EarthLink (earthlink.net) announced on Wednesday it has been selected to build, own and operate Arlington County, Virginia's Wi-Fi broadband network.
The Wi-Fi mesh network will provide Arlington County with a broadband alternative for residents and visitors to the county and will also enable county employees to work in the field without having to return to an office and a traditional landline to complete their tasks, says the company. EarthLink will also enable Internet access for to-be-determined nonprofit partners of Arlington County as well as create wireless hotspots at a number of Arlington parks, community centers and libraries.
"Arlington County officials recognized the potential of wireless technology when it began deploying hot spots in-and-around government buildings in late 2004 and this agreement with EarthLink fulfills their Wi-Fi vision by delivering a countywide network for all residents and businesses to use and enjoy," says Donald Berryman, executive vice president of EarthLink and president of the ISP's municipal networks unit. "Our Wi-Fi networks deliver an affordable and portable broadband Internet connection at anytime or in any place and for businesses we will offer a wireless T-1 solution that when compared to existing landline offerings, is mobile and more cost effective than today's existing offerings."
EarthLink also recently announced it has selected advertising and marketing agency Hauser Group to help launch and rollout the company's citywide Wi-Fi networks in markets across the United States.

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.
