June 19, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Email management provider AtMail (atmail.org) announced on Thursday that its commercial AtMail Webmail system is now fully compatible with the FireFox 3 web browser.
Despite its website temporarily going offline on the first day of its release, Mozilla's Firefox 3 saw over eight million downloads of the web browser on the first day of its release. Based on the Gecko 1.9 web rendering platform, Firefox 3 is said to include more than 15,000 changes to improve performance, stability, rendering correctness, and code simplification and sustainability.
"Any AtMail customers that are upgrading to the latest version of FireFox will find our latest AtMail 5.4 release fully supports and is instantly compatible with this new version of the widely popular, cross-platform browser," says AtMail VP Corey Bissaillon. "AtMail 5.4 builds upon the solid foundation of our commercial-grade email management solution that organizations turn to when migrating from outdated or legacy email systems."
The new AtMail 5.4 version also includes new IMail migration capabilities and security functionality. Other new enhancements include FireFox 3 compatibility, IMail migration scripts and IMAPS/POP3S support.
The company also recently released AtMail Open, a new open source webmail tool that it says is being used by universities, small business, government and ISPs around the world. Users can get a free download of AtMail Open, or purchase AtMail Webmail 5.4, on AtMail's website. AtMail provides a complete suite of email messaging solutions to more than 15 million users and thousands of organizations.
The company is unique in that it is self-funded and promoted solely through word-of-mouth, and says it is "redefining and simplifying the email messaging experience from both an end-user and administrator perspective."

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.
