October 12, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web analytics firm Netcraft (netcraft.com) announced on Thursday that it has released the results of its October 2007 Web Server Survey. The firm says it received responses from 142,805,398 websites, an increase of 7.6 million sites since last month, which continues the rate of over five percent monthly growth, as seen in September.
Benefiting from the gains at MySpace and Microsoft Live, Microsoft-IIS now hosts over 50 million websites. MySpace, Microsoft Live.com and Google's Blogger each gained over one million sites this month.
Apache lost a 2.8 percent share, partly due to major growth with blogging systems and partly due to 2.5 million domains on Apache expiring at trouble-free.net. Apache currently has around a 10 percent market share advantage over IIS, which the company says is the smallest gap between the two since IIS was launched in 1996.
In terms of active sites, Apache saw a gain of one million sites while Microsoft-IIS saw a steady growth of almost three million.
Netcraft also recently reported on search engine giant Google's vulnerability in its Gmail Web-based email service.

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.
