August 16, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Globat (globat.com) announced on Wednesday that it has acquired all the assets of Web hosting company Newista (newista.com).
The acquisition enables Globat to begin offering multiple Web hosting platforms, including cPanel and Plesk to its customers. It also strengthens the company's stronghold in the industry and its growing visibility among more experienced Web hosting consumers, says Globat.
"Newista has been very successful in the hosting industry since 2003 and is known for intensely focusing on personalized customer service. Customer experience has also always been Globat's number one priority," says Globat's CEO Ben R. Neumann. "It was a natural fit. The combined strengths of both companies will allow us to offer an even wider range of Web hosting choices along with nearly unprecedented customer care."
Newista says it has always been proud of its offerings and has had a strong footing in the industry but it is very happy to become part of the Globat family and become an even stronger player in the industry through this acquisition.
Globat most recently offered a Web hosting promotion to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

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.
