April 17, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider HostMySite (hostmysite.com) announced on Tuesday it is offering a free trial for Microsoft's newest Internet Information Services technology (iis.net). HostMySite is one of the early adopters of IIS7 and is the first to provide customers with access to the IIS7 environment.
IIS7 has already shipped in Windows Vista as a full-featured Web server for developers, and Microsoft will ship IIS7 for Web hosting in its upcoming release of Windows Server Codename "Longhorn". As a completely modular Web server with integrated .NET extensibility, IIS7 enables complete flexibility in extending and customizing the Web server.
The modules are simple to build and can rapidly incorporate in IIS7. More than forty modules are included and can be replaced, removed, or new ones added since IIS7 is built on public Win32 and .NET extensibility APIs. HostMySite worked with Microsoft, using IIS7 in a production environment with the IIS7 Go Live license well before the official product release.
"It's exciting to be involved in shaping new technology," says Monish Sood, director of marketing for HostMySite. "It's even more exciting to be able to involve our customers. Their observations and assistance is invaluable for Microsoft as well as HostMySite.com."
HostMySite recently announced it launched new hosting plans for Microsoft Exchange, based on the enterprise-class mail technology of Microsoft Exchange Server.

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.
