(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Power DNN will more than double its hosting capacity in business continuity and managed services provider CoSentry's Tier IV data center in Omaha, Nebraska, a primary network hub for the larger CoSentry Resiliency Network, helping Power DNN securely host services for the DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com) community.
According to the company's Wednesday announcement in Las Vegas at the DevConnections (www.devconnections.com) conference, the new arrangement will ensure that Power DNN will not be limited by its facilities or network as it nears its significant expansion planned in 2009, driven by the success of the DNN open-source web application framework.
"We have now experienced 12 straight quarters of client and revenue growth and see nothing but acceleration in 2009," Power DNN founder and chief executive officer Tony Valenti said in a statement. "The CoSentry platform enables us to provide our clients with one of the industry's best facilities with unparalleled power and network infrastructure."
According to the company, CoSentry has recently added multi-million dollar power and infrastructure upgrades helping keep the company's leading position in network management.
Under the terms of the agreement, Power DNN will double its footprint in the facility and has also reserved the right to add considerable adjoining space. In February, Power DNN launched its Atomic SLA program for enterprise DotNetNuke installations, increasing the reliability of the open-source framework to help drive corporate adoption.
"The DotNetNuke community has just begun to realize its potential," added John Grange, Power DNN's Chief Operating Officer, "and the macro economic environment is driving larger enterprise clients to understand the value of our advanced service offering."
Founded in 2000, CoSentry also provides managed Internet services from its data centers in Kansas City, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. In early October began expanding its Kansas City facility, adding nearly 4,000 square feet of raised floor space to meet the increasing need for services.
"It has been very exciting to be part of an evolution within an industry that is growing at such a dramatic rate," CoSentry lead solutions consultant Rod Peterson said in a statement. "Our core business has been corporate enterprise and large commerce engines, so we have had to adjust to this phenomenon of intelligent, assertive businesses that are sourcing powerful stand alone platforms."

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.
