October 20, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Rackspace (www.rackspace.com), and its cloud computing division Mosso (www.mosso.com) announced on Monday they are hosting a customer event and live webcast on October 22 at 1:00 p.m. EST.
The presentation will also include a Q&A entitled "Live and Unplugged: A Conversation with Rackspace Cloud Hosting and What's Coming."
The event will be hosted by Rackspace CEO Lanham Napier and chief strategy officer Lew Moorman, along with their partners and customers to discuss emerging hosting trends.
The webcast and event will give attendees a chance to hear corporate and product announcements from the company's managed and cloud hosting businesses about the future of the hosting cloud.
The WHIR recently interviewed Jonathan Bryce, Mosso co-founder, about the details behind its hosting agreement with YouDecide2008.com, and how The Hosting Cloud solution provides a scalable hosting solution to support high performance sites that experience traffic surges.
Interested participants can find more about the webcast and its log-in information here.
Last week, Rackspace drew an additional $150 million on its revolving line of credit in response to recent economic uncertainities in the credit and bank markets.

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.
