August 8, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- European Web hosting provider SpiralHost (spiralhost.com) announced on Friday it has joined R1Soft's (r1soft.com) Hosting Partner Program, enabling the company to receive special benefits for R1Soft's data backup solution, Continuous Data Protection.
SpiralHost currently offers Continuous Data Protection to all customers as a free value-added service under the name Rest Easy. The data protection technology from R1Soft enables companies to provide real-time backup of data, helping to eliminate the threat of data loss in the event of a disaster.
In February, R1Soft launched R1HPP, which provides R1Soft partners with volume discounts, 50 percent off MySQL add-ons, professional public relations services and other brandable marketing materials.
SpiralHost will now be able to access priority technical support from R1Soft, different sales and marketing resources, and expert assistance on effectively deploying the data protection solution.
"With R1Soft's Continuous Data Protection, we are able to affordably deliver on our promise to do everything we can to safeguard our customers' data," says Greg Bales, managing director of SpiralHost. "Our Rest Easy data protection service has already proven to be an enormous success and we look forward to offering continually more competitive solutions as the needs of our customers change in time."
Rest Easy data protection includes three separate backup schedules for each shared hosting account. Weekly backups store eight restore points for two months, daily backups store 14 restore points for two weeks, and hourly backups store 48 restore points for two days.
Customers may specify which files should be backed up. In addition to shared hosting, SpiralHost offers reseller hosting, domain name registration, and SSL certificates.

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.
