December 9, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Domain name registrar NamesBeyond (namesbeyond.ca) announced on Thursday that the reservation process for over six million place names in the .travel domain will expire on December 31, 2005.
Over six million reserved place names, including the names of cities, towns, heritage sites, pilgrim centers, sacred sites, national parks and preserves, are reserved exclusively for authorized bodies. Names like "Montreal.travel" and "Toronto.travel", are some of the most valuable names.
The special reservation process, conducted in coordination with Tralliance (tralliance.com), enables authorized agencies to ensure that important city, town, heritage and sacred site names are not taken by private entities.
"NamesBeyond understands that government agencies and authorized organizations have many demands on their time, especially during this holiday season," says Uma Murali, president of NamesBeyond. "Our convenient reservation process, acceptance of payments via check or a purchase order process, and trained support executives allows government agencies to reserve their place names well ahead of the expiration deadline of December 31, 2005."

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.
