May 1, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Eleven2 Hosting (eleven2.com) announced on Thursday that it is now offering a solution that gives customers web hosting services for life for $600.
In January 2008, President George W. Bush announced the Economic Stimulus Plan, where US taxpayers would receive checks of several hundred dollars from the government in order to boost the economy.
Upon hearing this news, Eleven2 says it wanted to "give something back as well" and immediately began to brainstorm ideas, until it came up with the lifetime hosting for $600 plan.
The deal is significantly cost-effective, says the company. Based on the pricing of its "launchParty" plan, $600 would last roughly eight and a half years. "We really wanted to do something out of the box here at Eleven2," says Rodney Giles, co-founder and CEO of Eleven2. "A lifetime hosting plan is pretty out of the box and just the right match for President Bush's plan. For $600, anyone is able to take advantage of our lifetime hosting plan." Founded in 2004, Eleven2 Hosting now hosts over 60,000 websites and provides shared hosting, reseller hosting, and customized dedicated server plans. The company's data centers are located in Houston, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia.
The company also offers VIP, an automated support system developed in-house, as well as domain sales and database/FTP/email hosting for small to medium sized businesses.
Last October, Eleven2 launched its new website and competitively designed hosting plans.

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.
