July 16, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider WebFusion (webfusion.co.uk) announced on Monday it has updated its virtual private server, providing users with greater value and a range of new features to maximize Web site performance. The new WebFusion VPSs have unlimited traffic with guaranteed and burstable RAM to ensure that Web sites perform well even during sudden traffic peaks.
The latest version of the Plesk control panel, combined with the Virtuozzo control panel at the back end, provides Web masters with root access for complete control. Linux-based VPSs are Ruby and Ruby-on-Rails ready and run on Ubuntu 6.06, while Windows servers are equipped with SQL Server 2005 and ASP.net 2.0. Starting from £14.99 per month, WebFusion VPSs are available on Linux and Windows. "Our new range of virtual private servers is our best yet," says Mark Beyer, sales and marketing director at WebFusion. "Server enhancements, such as guaranteed and burstable RAM, mean that our VPSs are a step closer to providing dedicated server performance, with a price normally associated with shared hosting. We believe these advancements make our VPS offering the best in class." The updated WebFusion VPS plans also include lower prices, Dell PowerEdge 2950 Energy Smart, new contention ratio for servers, Ruby preinstalled on Linux VPS and Ruby-on-Rails available via a single click in Plesk, extra disk space, SCSI RAID 10, Plesk 8.1 installed as standard and root access available via Virtuozzo.

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.
