October 25, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Network meet-me interconnection facilities provider telx (telx.com) announced it has added dark fiber network infrastructure provider FiberLight (fiberlight.com) to its Miami Meet Me Room located at 36 North East 2nd Street in Miami, Florida.
FiberLight designs, constructs and manages metro dark fiber rings in six tier one cities and has affiliate agreements to provide fiber in 30 tier 203 metropolitan markets. telx customers in Miami can now interconnect to FiberLight, which provides a full range of dark fiber services to wholesale carriers, large enterprise customers, federal, state and local governments requiring metro fiber connectivity in the Miami metropolitan region, says the company. telx continues to grow and add customers and resources to the Miami market. The company recently hired Kelly Joyce, an industry veteran with relationships with major Latin and South American companies who require connectivity to major US network and global network operator networks in the Miami market.
"FiberLight has been a terrific partner, particularly in the South Eastern portion of the United States where their dark fiber metro network is quite extensive," says Hunter Newby, chief strategy officer of telx. "Our model has had proven success in New York and Atlanta and will no doubt create efficiencies in the Miami market solving interconnectivity problems for network operators who need access between the Americas."

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.
