April 21, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Domain registrar Register.com (register.com) announced on Monday that it has launched several initiatives in honor of National Small Business Week, which runs from April 21 to 25.
"We work with almost a million small business customers every year and we have seen that many of them are turning tough economic times into opportunities for growth by creating or expanding their Web efforts," says Larry Kutscher, CEO of Register.com.
Register.com says it will be offering a 15 percent discount from April 21 to 27 on new domain names or on any of its professional services. Customers need to mention the invitation code 15forSmallBiz to take advantage of the limited-time offer, says the company.
Throughout Small Business Week, Register.com will also be providing commentary and editorials on a daily basis, highlighted by Kutscher's "5 Web Tips Every Small Business Owner Should Know," meant to provide vision, provoke thought, and stimulate growth for the small business community, says the company.
"The Web has experienced record growth over the past three years," says Kutscher. "Still, only about half of the small businesses in the US have a website and those without a site are missing opportunities. This is why we're doing some special things during small business week, to encourage small businesses to make the move to the Web today."
Register.com has added several new articles to its Small Business Learning Center to share information on how small businesses can succeed online. Some of the articles include tips on "How the Web can Improve Sales," "Improving Your E-commerce Revenue" and "Earn Commissions while Affiliating with Winners."

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.

WHIR = register.com shill.
cmon register.com itself is a small business, why are you posting their desperate SEO spam press releases? They are not even a player anymore. Godaddy has larger resellers than register.com. I can assure you from inside sources these "articles" they are releases are coming straight from their overpriced SEO firm and are nothing more than spam.

As editor of theWHIR, I can confirm for you that yes, just like every other news organization in the world, we find many of our stories by watching newswires for press releases. You seem to be suggsting that writing about any company that isn't as big as Go Daddy makes us a "shill," which strikes me as ridiculous. And making "as big as Go Daddy" a prerequisite for covering registrars would leave us a list of about one registrar. Go Daddy. Wouldn't THAT make us a "shill?" Normally I wouldn't respond personally to a post this misguided and accusing, but you just seemed so upset. And pretty off-base about the basic nature of journalistic integrity. Hopefully this clears things up a bit. And for the record, I'm pretty sure Register.com doesn't advertise anywhere on our site.
