(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- UK domain registrar and web host 123-reg (www.123-reg.co.uk) has partnered with Google (www.google.com) and content platform developer Clickstream Technologies (www.clickstream.com) to offer its customers free automated tools to generate revenue from AdSense, Google's advertising program.
According to its announcement, 123-reg's easy-to-use advertising program is the first of its kind for the UK, and it is available to new and existing shared hosting, "InstantSite" and e-commerce customers, which can all earn income from contextually and geographically relevant advertising without making any changes to their website.
"At 123-reg, we are always looking for ways to offer our customers a wider choice of revenue generating abilities," 123-reg chief executive officer Thomas Vollrath said in a statement. "We place a great deal of value in the ease of this process and partnering with Google and Clickstream provides our customers with a method of making money online which is as easy as 1,2,3. Clickstream's technology means our customers don't have the arduous task of tagging complex JavaScript code into their pages."
Google AdSense lets customers of all sizes and technical ability earn additional revenue from an automated display of relevant Google ads. Google manages relationships with a vast network of advertisers and agencies, and can ensure the advertising is tailored to the interests of the website's target audience.
Collaboration with Clickstream makes the process as easy for 123-reg customers. Clickstream's Datasherpa for Hosting, automatically creates space for advertisements on a website by automatically inserts tags to match ads to content on a site, without the need for manual coding. To use the service, 123-reg customers simply go to their 123-reg control panel, register to obtain a Google AdSense account, and select the advertising formats they want to display, including size, position, and even color scheme.
Clickstream business development managing director Brewster Barclay said 123-reg is already among the leading shared hosting providers in the UK. "Now they will now have a simple way to make regular income from their websites without having to understand technology or implement any coding," he said in a statement. "They can access the best-known advertising platform available and receive earnings from Google AdSense delivered directly into their bank accounts every month."

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.
