July 11, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider 1&1 Internet (1and1.com) announced on Friday it is offering support for Apple's new iPhone 3G with its professional email solution, 1&1 Microsoft Exchange.
The news comes a month after open source software provider Open-Xchange released a new tool to enable iPhone users to have access to Open-Xchange's business-class email, calendaring and collaboration solutions.
iPhone users can get access to their emails, appointments and contacts, anytime and anywhere. A push service ensures that all data is synchronized in real-time.
Users of the original iPhones can also update to the new iPhone 2.0 software to use 1&1's professional communications suite.
"Particularly for small enterprises, 1&1 Microsoft Exchange is a genuine alternative to a dedicated server, and at a fraction of the cost," says Oliver Mauss, CEO of 1&1 Internet. "The iPhone, with its outstanding user concept, has gained many excited followers across the world in a short time. We are very glad that all features of 1&1 Microsoft Exchange are now available on this innovative device".
1&1 Microsoft Exchange is priced from $6.99 per month, and includes an 1GB Exchange account, group functionality tools, such as public calendars, contacts, discussions and task management.
Users will receive a free license for Microsoft Outlook 2007 software. Email addresses from other providers can also be used with 1&1 Microsoft Exchange and the new iPhone software.
1&1 email solutions are hosted within 1&1's high security data centers, where the company oversees security updates and back-ups reducing the total cost of ownership for the service.
Additionally, users connect to their Microsoft Exchange account via encrypted SSL connections, ensuring secure access to personal data from any Internet-connected computer worldwide.

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.
