August 11, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Application delivery optimization company KEMP Technologies (kemptechnologies.com) announced on Monday that managed hosting provider BlackMesh (blackmesh.com) has joined its VARMaster Partner Program.
Last month KEMP launched a version of its load balancing and delivery control solutions designed for managed hosting providers.
BlackMesh offers managed hosting services to businesses, managing all aspects of the network, hardware and operating systems.
The customers' applications normally rely on http or https load balancing with persistent connections to ensure transactions are efficiently completed. Additionally, they require flexible scalability as they grow, and high-availability to ensure their sites are always up and running.
As a result, BlackMesh turned to KEMP technologies for a load balancer solution that provides an intuitive administration interface at an affordable cost.
"When looking for a new load balancer supplier to replace our outdated load balancers, we conducted an extensive search for the highest rated vendors that fit our needs," says Jason Ford, CTO of BlackMesh. "After several reviews, we choose KEMP technologies for their ability to meet our technological demands in a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution."
KEMP load balancers enable BlackMesh to create cost-effective managed hosting solutions for its small and mid-sized customers. KEMP says its products offer scalability and affordable cost, enabling BlackMesh to close larger customer engagements at lower price points than its competitors.
The KEMP product family includes LoadMaster 1500, LoadMaster 2500, LoadMaster 3500 and LoadMaster 5500.

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.
