December 17, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- UK domain registrar Freeparking (freeparking.co.uk) announced on Monday it has launched its new hosting service, Host@Freeparking (host.freeparking.co.uk). The hosting service is priced at £1.99 a month and offers Freeparking customers 500MB of Web space and 1GB of bandwidth, as well as a control panel, a 60-day trial and guaranteed 100 percent uptime.
"Freeparking has developed a huge base of loyal customers and it makes complete sense to offer them state-of-the-art hosting at the right price," says Paul Lomax, CTO of Freeparking's European partner Fibranet Services. "But it was also important to be able to offer all the extras too. Now Freeparking customers can have hosting with SQL server, stats, and every site comes with easy to use bandwidth and Web space monitoring tools."
The domain registrar enables customers to choose from their desired feature, adding and removing features at any time. Any credit remaining is credited back to the customer's account. All domains include 20 POP3 email accounts and free SMTP service for out going email.
Host@Freeparking also announced it has launched a fully managed dedicated server starting at £69.99 per month. The domain name registrar says it is trying to capitalize on the surge in Internet professionals who are taking control of their hosting platforms by renting their own servers.

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.
