September 4, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Dedicated hosting provider The Planet (theplanet.com) announced on Tuesday it has launched its new dedicated backup server which includes R1Soft's (r1soft.com) CDPServer continuous data protection software.
The solution offers one of the lowest costs per gigabyte in the industry, enabling customers to select from three storage options of 500GB, 1TB or 1.5TB at introductory pricing that ranges from 27 cents to 56 cents per gigabyte through September. The backup solution delivers bare-metal recovery which enables small to large business customers to recover servers to their original known state. With unique delegated administration functionality provided on The Planet's dedicated backup servers, the new R1Soft solution is ideal for resellers who need backup capacity for their clients. All three offerings provide resellers with the capability to support a limitless number of clients.
"It takes a single data-loss incident to learn a hard business lesson about the value of backup solutions," says The Planet's director of product management Urvish Vashi. "Many small businesses never recover financially or restore their reputations after data is lost or compromised. By providing enterprise-grade backup at prices affordable for SMBs and resellers, The Planet eliminates the high-stakes probability of a devastating data loss that customers should clearly consider."
The company announced it plans to introduce this month a hosted Microsoft Small Business Server product.

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.
