November 30, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- North America's largest retailer Wal-Mart (walmart.com) announced this week it is teaming up with AT&T (att.com) on a new marketing program to sell AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet in its stores nationwide, according to reports.
Wal-Mart has already begun marketing its high-speed Internet service at its Connection Center locations, which are specialized areas within Wal-Mart stores that sell broadband and wireless services to customers.
Reports say AT&T will offer the Yahoo! High-Speed Internet service for $14.99 per month with no term contract, and customers can expect to see other specials in the near future.
Wal-Mart says it is teaming up to sell the service in the states where AT&T offers home phone service, including California, Nevada, Texas, Michigan and Connecticut. 570 stores in 13 states will sell the high-speed Internet service, says Wal-Mart.

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.
