December 15, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- TemplateMonster (templatemonster.com) announced earlier this week that it had begun developing skins for phpBB (phpbb.com), an open source bulletin board package based on the php scripting language that enables building of online forums.
The company, which specializes in Web site template development, says its forum templates are compatible with version 2.0 of phpBB. The company plans to develop one phpBB skin per week.
"We are always glad to support open source projects, especially those of them which are of great popularity thus adding additional value to them," says Gary Nichols, head of marketing at Template Monster. "We already have templates for the open source projects like PHP-Nuke and osCommerce. Now we enlarge our product database with skins for phpBB. We believe that not only our customers will benefit from this but the project itself."
Template Monster phpBB skins provide modern design with easy installation using the phpBB 2.0 system, the PSD file for graphic editing, fonts for editing the PSD file and approximately 30 unique icons.

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.
