July 3, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web-based applications provider CM4all (cm4all.com) announced on Thursday that UK web hosting provider WebFusion (webfusion.co.uk) has licensed the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition to integrate into its hosting brands.
WebFusion operates different brands whose range of products and services include hosting and domain name registration to a customer base comprised of residential users, small businesses, resellers, medium-size companies and blue chip multinationals.
WebFusion says it will first launch CM4all's Business Edition of WebsiteCreator through its portal WebFusion, which has over a million customers and runs one of the UK's most extensive communications networks. The web host will then integrate the product into another one of its hosting brands, 123-Reg (123-reg.co.uk), shortly after.
By providing a customized GUI of the Business Edition to seamlessly adapt to the individual portal's corporate identity, CM4all will become an integral part to providing more services to their users.
"We are excited about extending our services with WebFusion," says Robert Schovenberg, CEO of CM-AG. "The combination of the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition and the impressive hosting services of WebFusion and its brands will be a great partnership for both companies and especially beneficial to subscribers in the UK."
Customers of WebFusion brands will be able to create and maintain professional websites including SEO functionality, simultaneous multi platform publishing and other innovative features.
CM4all will be demonstrating the latest WebsiteCreator Business Edition, which offers new features and major product upgrades including Ebay and Amazon shops integration, at the upcoming HostingCon 2008 (hostingcon.com), held July 28 to 30 at Chicago's Navy Pier.
With three million paying customers worldwide, CM4all is distributed worldwide via telcos, MSOs, ISPs and web hosts, including Endurance International Group, Hostway, Deutsche Telekom, Terra Networks, Tiscali, Swisscom, Verio, NTT Communications and 1&1 Internet.
South Africa-based web host Hetzner licensed CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition in February to operate via multiple installations in the company's Cape Town and Johannesburg data centers.

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.
