September 17, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting tools provider Freewebs (freewebs.com) announced on Monday it has launched a beta version of a social networking and Web publishing site, Pagii (pagii.com).
Previously offered as an invitation-only alpha version, Pagii combines some of the features of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook with the innovative approach of Web and desktop publishing, says Freewebs. Pagii's browser-based technology allows users to use the project flexibly, from anywhere, without having to download software.
Its visually-driven, click-and-drag functionality provides users with immediate access to design and graphic capabilities, enabling them to quickly insert, resize, move, rotate and animate images. Since it is designed in VML and SVG, rather than in Flash, there is no image degradation with Pagii, enabling users to create crisp and clear images.
"Users just don't build Web pages with Pagii, they can collaborate to build whole new chapters of Web expression - a Pagii nation, if you will," says Freewebs' president Shervin Pishevar. "We truly believe Pagii will be to social networking and Web page creation what the iPhone is to cellphones. Pagii is a clear extension of Freewebs' mission to empower ordinary people to do extraordinary things."

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.
