News: WebhostingDay 2010 Poised to Set New Attendance Record
June 29, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider SiteGround (siteground.com) announced on Wednesday it is now offering special discounts on the .us domains in celebration of Independence Day. The company says the deal aims to increase the use of this genuine American extension. As part of the SiteGround Independence Day promotion, all customers who start a new .us Web site will receive special discounts on the hosting package prices.
The promotion hopes to increase the number of US customers whose Web sites are accessible both by their existing domain and by its .us extension. Customers will receive a 30 percent discount to register a .us domain name and park it to their existing Web site. "We believe that the .us extension is a little underestimated by our customers, although it may be very useful for websites targeting the US audience," says Kate Mihaleva, marketing and SEO specialist at SiteGround. "It may also help improve a Web site positioning at the US Search engine results. The Independence Day is a very appropriate time for making the .us domains more popular and widely used among our customers."
SiteGround recently announced it is now hosting more than 100,000 domains.

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.
