December 18, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Disk-based backup solutions developer Righteous Software (r1soft.com) announced on Sunday that it has introduced a new method for booting servers into disaster recovery mode.
The company says the new tool adds a third method for executing a bare-metal restore to the existing methods - using a boot CD ROM, which requires physical access to the server, and the Pre-Boot Execution Environment, which requires a specially configured data center network.
Righteous says its Live Boot software enables server administrators to initiate disaster recovery mode remotely on Linux servers and execute a bare-metal restore through the secure shell protocol.
"With the introduction several months ago of our control panel-integrated backup solutions, we have gained a significant number of small to medium sized Web hosts who have vastly different requirements and barriers than larger hosts and datacenters," says David Wartell, Righteous Software founder and CEO. "Today's release is designed to create additional capabilities for clients without physical access to their servers or without high-level network permissions. Shared hosts utilizing dedicated servers are such an example."
To use Live Boot, Righteous customers must download a copy of the software from the company's download site and executed on the customer's server. Live Boot can be installed prior to a disaster.

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.
