June 3, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Future Hosting (futurehosting.biz), which recently joined data recovery solutions provider R1Soft's Hosting Partner Program, announced on Tuesday it has expanded its virtual private server offerings and will begin providing VPS services from a Washington, DC facility.
Future Hosting says with this new offering, it will be able to better target customers with connectivity needs along the East coast of the US. This Washington, DC site also offers more direct data paths to Internet service providers in South America and Europe, says the company.
"The vastly increased international scope of our virtual private servers has proven to be a phenomenally successful strategic asset for our company, and today's addition will allow us to further serve enterprises and Fortune 500 companies," says Vik Patel, president and CEO of Future Hosting. "The enhanced data transit and security opportunities at this new facility provide a variety of attractive and competitive opportunities to both prospective and existing clients."
All introductory plans include SA-SCSI disk space and the choice of either a cPanel or Plesk-based management platform. Plans also come with Server Doctor, Future Hosting's "revolutionary system that provides a proactive approach to maintaining virtual private servers," and Future Protect, the company's data protection service.
Pricing for the VPS plans in Washington will share the same pricing structure as plans hosted from the four other locations serviced by the company, says Future Hosting, including Dallas, Chicago, Seattle and the UK. Prices start at $34.95 per month.
In other recent VPS announcements, managed hosting provider Verio reported on Tuesday it has launched a newly packaged VPS offering, VPS Starter Plans.

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.
