Carpathia Releases IPv6
October 3, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Carpathia Hosting (carpathiahost.com) announced on Monday it has released its fully native dual-stacked Internet Protocol version 6 network to all Carpathia customers within its Northern Virginia data centers. IPv6 has been developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force to replace the current version IPv4.
Now, Carpathia customers can announce IPv6 assignments from their current systems without having to use additional network interfaces. The upgrade to IPv6 was led in part by Carpathia customers in preparation for federal mandates that require many government agencies to migrate to IPv6 as early as 2007.
"Our VP of engineering Kevin Loch is leading Carpathia into the next generation of the Internet," says Carpathia CTO Scott Bethke. "Kevin deployed our first v6 test network in 2005 and has recently co-authored a new ARIN policy for enterprise IPv6 multi-homing that was adopted last may."
Carpathia Hosting provides enterprise application hosting for government agencies and businesses that require 100 percent application availability. By using dynamic technologies that remove hardware dependencies and improve efficiencies, the Web host says it aims to decrease operational costs while surpassing SLA requirements.

July 2010 - What's Next? Forecasting Hosting's Future
Technically, there's nothing new about us posing the question, "what are the next steps hosting providers must take to capitalize on the opportunities available in the business?"

In this particular case, however, we're looking at it through an extremely significant contextual lens. That is, for much of the last two years, hosting providers have been operating in a business climate defined by an economy in crisis.

March 2010 - Web Hosting in Europe
Europe cuts an interesting figure in our coverage of the web hosting industry. From a purely news standpoint, it is very possible to treat Europe in more or less the same way that we treat North America - that is, report the facts, ask the right questions, try to anticipate the issues raised. From an analytical standpoint, however, we present a distinctly North American point of view - this being the product of circumstances (our location), rather than a bias.

January 2010 - Hottest Hosts Directory
In 2008, in our inaugural Hottest Hosts guide, I wrote that we were exploring a new format with the first in-print directory of web hosting services. And last year, I discussed the project in the context of an ongoing project, and a growing tradition here at the Web Host Industry Review. The objective, however, is not to repeat ourselves, but to help the directory evolve into a more valuable resource - something that's going to help you with your purchasing decisions, and something you're going to hold on to for the duration of the year.
