May 31, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Software as a solution provider OpSource (opsource.com) announced on Thursday it has opened its European headquarters, located at Albany House in Maidenhead, Berks, UK.
OpSource is expanding operations into Europe to meet increasing demand from local SaaS and Web 2.0 companies for Web application delivery services. The company will also be providing European application delivery services for its US-based customers from its UK operations center. "In response to the groundswell of European software companies now looking to adopt the SaaS model, and US-based companies looking to expand their operations overseas, OpSource is taking the lead in helping these companies overcome structural and financial barriers to entry, while creating an environment ripe for accelerating SaaS growth in the European SaaS community," says OpSource CEO Treb Ryan. "To accomplish our goals, we plan to work closely with our partners in the on-demand world, Microsoft, salesforce.com and Savvis." OpSource is concentrating specifically on delivering applications over the Web for business-to-business and business-to-consumer companies. Customers provide the application or service and OpSource uses Web application delivery, OpSource On-Demand, to deliver it under the customer's name and brand.
The company announced last month that Zogix has selected the OpSource On-Demand SaaS delivery platform for the new Zogix WebTop Suite application.

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.
