November 5, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Telecommunications provider Verizon Business (verizonbusiness.com) announced on Monday it will help the US Army modernize its communications infrastructure and systems at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Verizon Business will support increased bandwidth and converged communications while improving vital communications for current and future military operations.
The Army awarded Verizon Business the Fort Huachuca task order, estimated at up to $20 million and spanning two and a half years. The task order was issued under the $4 billion infrastructure modernization contract under which the Army is updating communications capabilities at major facilities. Awarded in 2006, the IMOD contract commissioned 10 prime contractors including Verizon Business, which then bid on individual task orders.
Verizon Business will upgrade Fort Huachuca's outside and inside plant infrastructure, install prefabricated communications shelters to store and protect critical communications assets. The company will also update the facility's data network to support increased bandwidth and converged communications requirements for current and future military requirements, enabling the post to introduce new IP-based services with the next generation IPv6 and providing future capabilities to integrate voice, data and video systems into a unified Army network infrastructure.
"Modernizing the Army's communications infrastructure will allow facilities such as Fort Huachuca to increase the speed, reliability, security, quality and flexibility of vital network-centric operations," says Susan Zeleniak, VP of federal markets for Verizon Business. "As the Army moves to EoIP, or everything over IP, Verizon Business is well-positioned to apply our professional services talent and convergence expertise to extend the benefits of IP all the way to the front lines."
Verizon Busines announced last month it is offering retailers and financial service providers stronger safeguards for protecting credit card holders' confidential data.

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.
