Facternet Offers Free Hosting Trial
September 5, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Facternet.com (facternet.com) announced on Friday it has launched a new service called Risk Free Facternet that enables new customers to test out its hosting services before deciding to buy a package.
Risk Free Facternet gives visitors 20 days of Web hosting on any of Facternet's premium hosting packages. If the user doesn't like the service they can cancel their subscription free of charge. Facternet is also offering a free domain name to anyone who tries its Business or Corporate hosting packages. The domains can be transferred to another provider for free should the user cancel.
"With so many hosting providers around, it's getting harder and harder for people to decide on which one to use," says Anthony Robinson, owner of Facternet. "Here at Facternet, we let people try our services free for 20 days and see if they meet their requirements. If they do, they can enjoy hosting with us. Alternatively, if they find Facternet isn't for them, not a problem. They can simply cancel within their free 20 day period and not pay us a penny."
The company says because Risk Free Facternet uses Paypal's subscription service, users can cancel their subscription by logging in to their Paypal account, making canceling very easy.

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.
