September 13, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web analytics firm Netcraft (netcraft.com) reports this week that INetU (inetu.net), New York Internet (nyi.net) and Acens (acens.com) are the most reliable hosting company sites for August 2007, followed closely by Easynet (easynet.net), iPowerWeb (ipowerweb.com) and Go Daddy (godaddy.com).
Colocation and managed services provider New York Internet led the list for the third time this year, having previously taken the top spot in January and May. Meanwhile, managed hosting provider INetU was second in the July survey and has appeared in the top 10 many times, including seven consecutive months in 2004. This is the first appearance on the reliable Web hosts list for Spanish Web host Acens.
Trailing the top three are American discount Web hosts iPowerWeb and Go Daddy. Three of the ten most reliable Web hosts run their Web sites on FreeBSD, three operate on Windows and two on Linux.
Netcraft measures and posts the response times of fifty leading hosting providers' sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the Internet while averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
The company reported last week that it released the results of its September 2007 Web Server Survey.

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.
