August 21, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Information availability solutions provider SunGard (sungard.com) announced on Tuesday it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Houston, Texas-based managed services provider VeriCenter (vericenter.com). The transaction is not expected to have a material impact on SunGard's financial results.
The acquisition of VeriCenter enhances SunGard Availability Services' managed service delivery capabilities while adding seven data centers throughout the US that geographically complement its existing US facilities.
"SunGard's acquisition of VeriCenter provides customers of both companies a comprehensive range of Information Availability services from a single provider," says Ted Gaasche, CEO of SunGard Availability Services. "It is our mission to provide our customers access to their important business functions according to their need -- always on, within minutes, or hours depending on the criticality of their systems."
SunGard Availability Services will now serve more than 10,000 customers and have nearly four million square feet of data center space in North America and Europe.

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.
