ServerPlex Donates Computers
October 23, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT solutions firm ServerPlex Networks (serverplex.com) announced on Monday it has joined forces with The Salvation Army (salvationarmy.org) to offer reconditioned computers for underprivileged families in the San Francisco Bay area.
Beginning today and ending November 20, the company will be collecting new and used personal computers and monitors at its offices in San Mateo, California. All collected systems will be inspected and, if necessary, repaired by technicians from ServerPlex Networks' subsidiary company, ServerPlex Onsite, which specializes in computer repair and maintenance.
"In today's Web-oriented culture, it has become increasingly important to have at the very least a working computer at home, but for many that simply isn't a possibility," says Robert Marhamat, ServerPlex Networks business development manager. "To say we are looking forward to this tremendous opportunity would be an understatement. There is without question enormous need, and we will be doing everything we can to make a significant difference in our community."
ServerPlex Networks hopes to collect roughly 400 computers, which will be distributed to families in mid-December by the company in conjunction with The Salvation Army.

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.
