July 13, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Colocation and managed service provider ColoServe (coloserve.com) announced on Wednesday that it has expanded its data center in downtown San Francisco, California.
The company says it is adding 3,000 square feet of space and an additional 40 cages to enable customers to expand as their businesses grow and to enable ColoServe to meet increasing demand for San Francisco data center space. The expanded data center also features CAT6-enhanced cabling infrastructure designed to support the next generation of intensive Internet applications such as IPTV and enables up to 10 gigabits per second handoffs to a cabinet or cage.
ColoServe's data center facility also shares infrastructure with Verizon's sole San Francisco phone switching facility, including dual generators capable of producing four megawatts of power and enough on-site diesel fuel to run off of the electrical grid for more than two weeks, says the company. The data center is also completed by ColoServe's popular Screaming-Fast Network, which give customers instant access to over 45 major Internet networks in a single connection.
"Having a top-notch colocation facility with great bandwidth and available space in downtown San Francisco means we can offer our current customers more flexibility while ensuring prospective customers we can meet their needs," says John Keagy, president of ColoServe. "As their businesses grow, so can their data center space."

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.
