September 25, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Client-side search application provider tyBit (tybit.com), a subsidiary of Web hosting provider Advanced Internet Technologies (ait.com) announced on Monday that social networking portal Fraser Net (frasernetcommunity.com) has signed on as a channel partner.
"We are determined to use tyBit as an integral part of our network to add value for our members and organization. The revenue share is extremely appealing to us," says Duvall Brown, director of Internet services at Fraser Net.
AIT says tyBit is a major shift for online search, moving away from the centralized search engine model to a patent-pending client side application that distributes Web crawling, indexing and browser content delivery. TyBit provides accelerated search and maximizes relevancy by enabling users to search the Web thoroughly by instantly submitting searches to multiple online directories, major engines and other data sources in the public domain displaying all of the results in a single window on the desktop or PDA, says the company.
Company officials have indicated that tyBit is working with many interested capital firms to complete an $80 million first-round financing. The five-year plan for tyBit aims to achieve annual revenues in excess of $6 billion. The first production release of the tyBit application is calendared for the second quarter of 2008.
Last month, AIT released the second beta of tyBit.

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.
