(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Virtual private server hosting provider Cirrus Tech (www.cirrushosting.com) has added the Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5 framework support to all its Windows VPS hosting plans.
According to the Canadian web host's Wednesday announcement, ASP.NET 2.0 is automatically installed when Cirrus Tech clients order a Windows VPS hosting plan, which they can optionally upgrade to version 3.5. In addition to ASP.NET, all Windows VPS hosting plans include support for Windows Server 2003, IIS 6, and dedicated IP addresses.
Combining the power of a VPS and the ease of working within a control panel, Windows VPS clients have the option to install web hosting control panel Parallels (www.parallels.com) Plesk Panel 9 to simplify their web hosting activities, such as setting up their domain accounts and email accounts.
Seasoned .NET developers can opt out of installing that control panel and set up their web services manually through terminal services, allowing for more custom configuration.
Cirrus Tech has been making improvements to its VPS offerings lately. Last week, for instance, Cirrus Tech updated its higher-end VPS hosting plans by assigning greater resources to its VPS plans, and hosting them on more powerful servers.

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.

This is without doubt one of the worst hosting companies in Canada. Unethical and unprofessional. Please do not make the same mistake I did.
