November 8, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Applied Innovations (appliedi.net) announced on Thursday it has introduced Microsoft Windows Server 2008 hosting for dedicated servers. The operating system, set for release next February, represents the next generation of Microsoft-powered hosting technology and includes the latest version Internet Information Services.
Through a partnership with Microsoft, Applied Innovations will enable its dedicated server customers to run both Windows Server 2008 and IIS7 as a trial until the products are officially released. Dedicated server customers will then be able to choose to upgrade to the release to manufacturing version of the software. Microsoft has not yet released pricing for Windows Server 2008.
"This early introduction allows our customers to foresee what's coming to the Web and Application hosting world," says Jess Coburn, CEO of Applied Innovations. "The new IIS platform, with its modular architecture, hits higher overall performance benchmarks, offers more robust security, and provides extensibility that hasn’t been available in previous versions."
Applied Innovations offers dedicated hosting from $99 per month, which includes many value-added features, such as a SmarterTools business management software bundle, round-the-clock technical support and access to a range of premium add-ons.

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.
