Outblaze Unveils AJAX Webmail
May 19, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Hosted email solutions provider Outblaze (outblaze.com) recently announced the release of its new AJAX-based webmail service, Outblaze AJAX Webmail.
The new service delivers a desktop-like email experience via the Web for ISPs, registrars, Web hosts, educational institutions and other tech-based companies. Because the AJAX technique delivers sophisticated user interaction directly from a server, the new webmail service can replicate a traditional software experience without the need for installation, upgrades or concerns about cross-platform programming. Like some recently-developed technology from Microsoft and Google, the Outblaze service features a drag-and-drop capability, a preview panel, message preloading and a highly intuitive navigation.
"The future is clear," says Yat Siu, founder and CEO of Outblaze. "Server-side software will increasingly replace client-side software. Outblaze has been building on-demand hosted services for many years, providing clients with the latest technology, ease of adoption and low entry costs."
Outblaze AJAX Webmail was demonstrated for the first time at the spring installation of North America’s largest ISP conference, ISPCON 2006 and is immediately available for new and existing customers.

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.
