Active 24 Sponsors Youth Charity
June 5, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Active 24 (active24.co.uk) announced on Monday it is working with charity organization YouthWorks (ywks.org) to organize a World Cup themed youth inclusion project over the summer. The exclusive sponsorship deal is timed to coincide with this year's World Cup.
YouthWorks has planned the Active 24 Five-a-side challenge, targeted at some of London's most disadvantaged young people. The football tournament will mirror the format of the World Cup, enabling 32 teams from across the London borough of Lambeth to participate for free.
Active 24 will donate a set of prizes, includes £500 cash, to YouthWorks. It will also donate 20 percent of its sales during the period of the World Cup to Lambeth charity Vassall Ward Youth & Community Project. The tournament sponsorship is part of Active 24's wider We Are The Champions (wearethechampions.co.uk) campaign, a pan-European marketing drive taking place throughout the summer to support local football communities.
"Our aim is to bring awareness about the possibilities offered by the Internet and open people's minds about the creation of Web sites and topical issues such as virus and emails" says Patrick McCarthy, commercial director of Active 24. "I am really excited about this football challenge and I hope the young people taking part really enjoy the tournament."

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.
