AppRiver Upgrades Mailbox Offering October 4, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Business and email security solutions provider AppRiver (appriver.com) announced on Tuesday it will offer unlimited mailbox storage as part of its Microsoft Exchange hosting service, selling for $12.95 per mailbox per month. AppRiver says that most hosted Exchange vendors offer 200MB to 500MB of storage, requiring IT administrators to constantly manipulate storage allocation. However, AppRiver's unlimited plan removes the task of quota management, enabling businesses to benefit from the collaboration and mobility offerings of Exchange without storage limitations. "AppRiver is the first Microsoft Exchange hosting company to offer unlimited mailbox storage," says Scott Cutler, AppRiver's executive vice president. "Email is meant to be a productivity enhancer. Quota monitoring by IT managers and continual requests by end users for additional space are not enhancements. We want to reduce complexity and remove storage from the list of topics to consider when deciding on a Hosted Exchange provider." AppRiver's Exchange Hosting is targeted at the corporate, government and educational markets worldwide. Equipped with its virus protection tool Shoreline, it reduces the complexity and investment required to provision and maintain Exchange 2003.

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.
