July 22, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet business solutions provider Internap Network Services (internap.com) announced on Tuesday it has expanded its Fannin Street data center in Houston.
The company says it has added 7,000 square feet of data center space, expanding the site to almost 15,000 square feet of usable space designed for high power density installations, energy efficiency and redundant power.
The new space has the power, cooling, security and operations to support approximately 60 companies in addition to the 60 companies currently installed in the facility, including ContentActive, Goodman Manufacturing and Prudential Real Estate Services, says Internap.
This is the second data center expansion Internap has announced in the last two months. In May, Internap reported it was adding around 15,000 square feet of colocation at a new stand-alone 45,000 square foot facility adjacent to its existing Boston data center.
Internap says it has been offering data center colocation and networking services in Houston since 2000 and its additional investment in the Houston economy signifies the growing demand from both local businesses, and organizations outside of Houston, for robust and sophisticated Internet technology solutions.
"Internap is investing in the growth of high technology solutions in Houston," says James P. DeBlasio, president and CEO of Internap. "Our expanded data center is a platform for providing IT services with 100 percent reliability to power business-critical websites and Internet applications. As we match our resources to the city's mission of building its economy and business community, we are attracting enterprise customers to the area at a rapid pace."
The company says it will be hosting a grand opening reception on July 24 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. CDT to provide guided tours of the new facility.
It is believed that Internap currently has a total footprint of around 185,000 square feet, consisting of around 103,000 square feet managed by Internap and 81,000 square feet in colocation centers. Internap says it has more than 3,700 companies around the world that "trust Internap to help them achieve their Internet business goals."

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.
