May 9, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator and managed service provider Peak 10 (peak10.com) reported Friday morning that it had amended and expanded its credit facility to the amount of $60 million.
Arranged by RBC Capital Markets with the support of syndication agent GE Capital Corporation and bank syndicate partner CIT, the credit facility, says Peak 10, is already earmarked for capital expenditures that will fuel the company's organic growth as well as for general corporate purposes.
"This expanded credit facility sends a powerful message to our customers, namely that we have positioned Peak 10 to expand to meet their growth needs and technical service needs for the future," said David Jones, president and CEO of Peak 10 in the company's press release. "At the same time, we remain aggressive with options to expand into more markets and to execute our strategic growth initiatives."
Peak 10 says it has grown steadily since 2001, in local markets and through acquisitions of data centers in Louisville, Nashville and Richmond. In fall 2007 Peak 10 opened a facility in Atlanta that it had built from the ground up and it moved into Cincinnati in December.
According to the company, the growth of its services is attributable to its improving reliability, lowering costs and maximizing internal resources for customers while keeping information technology assets close to the business.

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.
