September 5, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – The World Association of Domain Name Developers announced on Tuesday that T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East 2007 (targetedtraffic.com/miami_show.html), a conference series dedicated to the domain industry, is set to take place from October 9 to 13. The event will be held at the Westin Diplomat hotel in Hollywood, Florida.
The WADND says it strives to bring together domain owners, search engine companies, registrars as well as analysts and experts on targeted Internet traffic for stimulating discussions of strategies, best practices, trends and networking. Approximately 800 people attended the June T.R.A.F.F.I.C. event in New York City where over $12 million in domain names changed hands in just over three hours, says the organization.
The company says the primary focus of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. East 2007 will be on key verticals like travel, real estate, gaming and financial, in addition to presentations on Internet traffic, brand value, domain acquisition, portfolio management, revenue options, development, analytics, risk mitigation, security valuation and sales. Domain asset management provider Moniker will also host its notorious live domain auction at this upcoming show.
"The domain industry continues to evolve rapidly," says Rick Schwartz, cofounder of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and WADND. "The serious businesspeople who have invested hundreds of millions in the backbone of the Internet, which includes domainers, know that today's strategies and investment opportunities may not be as important in a few months. We've all learned so much about different types of Web site traffic, what surfers look for and what translates into sales. Anyone who owns domains, buys and sells Internet traffic or has a PPC or search-related company should come to learn and share at T.R.A.F.F.I.C."

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.
