1&1 Internet Offers SEO Tools June 26, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider 1&1 Internet (1and1.com), along with software design firm SubmitNet (submitnet.net), announced on Monday it has launched two new tools for achieving higher search engine rankings, SimpleSubmission and SimpleSEO. 1&1 Internet says the tools are ideal for developing a search engine optimization campaign and can deliver a competitive edge that would be of particular value to small and medium businesses. SimpleSubmission, which is supplied free to customers, automatically submits two customer URLs to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN and features a check for URL suitability.
SimpleSEO is priced at $4.99 per month, and provides submission to major search engines for 10 URLs. It features all the elements needed to compile a high-impact SEO campaign including meta tag generator, meta tag and keyword analysis, competitor analysis and load-time analysis, and real-time tracking and reporting. "Even though every Internet user is familiar with search engines, only a few users have the expertise to use these engines to get listed at the top of a page without spending a lot of money," says Andreas Gauger, chairman of 1&1 Internet. "We now offer free submission and a great tool for conquering search engines that is all-inclusive and highly affordable. These tools will ensure that our customers' Web sites have an even greater impact."

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.
