May 31, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Telecommunications provider Level 3 Communications' (level3.com) Content Markets Group announced on Thursday that it has been selected by Web hosting provider Jupiter Hosting (jupiterhosting.com) to upgrade its Internet access service to multiple 10 GigE circuits. Under the terms of the agreement, Level 3 will increase the total IP transit capacity it supplies to Jupiter Hosting.
Level 3 says it will replace multiple single-gigabit Ethernet ports with 10 GigE circuits in three of Jupiter Hosting's Silicon Valley, California locations. The company says the upgrades are needed to support the expansion of the Jupiter Hosting network, enabling the firm to better serve its existing managed hosting customers as well as to facilitate its entry into new markets. The upgrades will also simplify Jupiter Hosting's Internet Protocol transit architecture to enable more efficient operations, says Level 3.
"Jupiter Hosting has been a Level 3 customer for many years and this new agreement further solidifies our shared commitment to Jupiter Hosting's continued growth and success," says Grant van Rooyen, senior VP of Level 3's Content Markets Group. "Level 3 is uniquely positioned to be able to respond to the needs of clients like Jupiter Hosting that have experienced substantial IP traffic growth. We are committed to continuing to upgrade our network so that we can scale to deliver industry-leading, high-speed solutions such as 10 GigE IP transit."
Level 3 also recently launched caching and downloading services as a part of its content delivery platform.

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.
