(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Using its virtual private server technology, online business solutions provider Verio (www.verio.com) has introduced its Advanced Business Hosting, a new category of web hosting, promising enterprise-level hosting at a small business price.
Providing added performance, security and reliability, Verio's simple-to-use Advanced Business Hosting provides dedicated containers individually optimized for web, email and database functionality, which are isolated from other customers, according to Verio's Monday announcement.
"More and more small and mid-sized companies are looking to move to the next level of online performance, especially as challenging economic times make it essential to sharpen business practices in an affordable way," IDC SMB research vice president Ray Boggs stated. "As they integrate more online functions into their core business, SMBs have a growing need for secure and reliable hosting, making resources like those from Verio increasingly important for long term success."
The product of extensive research on the needs of today's SMBs, Advanced Business Hosting was designed to address SMBs' demand for simple-to-use hosting solutions that can host a standard informational website, but are also able to confidently host business critical applications in secure environment as the business grows.
Advanced Business Hosting offers scalability so that businesses can grow their website as their business needs grow, and specifically tailor packages to meet specific web, email and database needs, all managed from an intuitive control panel. It also features security-hardened applications, secure email, security monitoring and automatic patches and updates, providing customers with more security than a traditional shared hosting plan.
The private resource containerization also makes the service more reliable by separating each website from other sites on the server, making them unaffected by other websites' high traffic, email demands or a corrupt databases.
Advanced Business Hosting offers three unique plans to meet the needs of today's SMB market, which are all available to reseller channels. At $9.95, the "Foundation Web" is a simple turn-key solution to host private email and up to four unique websites. "Professional Web" at $29.95 provides more resources and flexibility for e-commerce, and multi-media, as well as private database server space, and the ability to host up to 8 unique websites.
At $84.95, "Advanced Web" gives users the ability to maximize all available email, web server and database resources to cover periods of high usage and growth, and provide the highest level of turnkey performance without migrating to a private server solution, as well as the ability to host up to 16 unique websites.

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.
