Rack-soft Releases VoIP Software May 3, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Server software provider Rack-soft (4psa.com) announced on Tuesday the release of a beta test version of 4PSA VoipNow, the first VoIP control panel for hosting service providers and Internet service providers. 4PSA VoipNow is designed to simplify the deployment of hosted VoIP services to both residential and business customers. The product can be easily managed over the Web from the browser interface. The 4PSA VoipNow beta is available for selected Linux-based operating systems. The software has four administration levels for providers, resellers, clients and phone extensions. All accounts feature independent limits and permissions. Due to the product's flexible structure, 4PSA VoipNow can work in many different environments and although the solution was developed with service providers in mind, it can be used by any company as an in-house IP PBX system. "Our primary concern while designing 4PSA VoipNow was to build a powerful, yet easy to understand system for all users, regardless of their experience," says Bogdan Carstoiu, 4PSA VoipNOW chief architect. "VoIP is often associated with low cost. Cost savings are great, but I am sure that the feature rich, flexible communication service will conquer the telephony users. I am expecting to see many new specialized providers able to satisfy the most demanding customers." The product is scheduled for public release later this month.

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.
