December 19, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator Digital Realty Trust (digitalrealtytrust.com) announced on Tuesday it has acquired two properties in Europe. The first property, Cressex 1, is located in London, England and totals approximately 51,000 rentable square feet of redevelopment space. The second property, Naritaweg 52, is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands and totals over 63,000 rentable square feet.
The data center operator purchased Cressex 1 for £6.5 million. The company plans to build 20,000 square feet of raised floor, turnkey data center space offering 2.88 MW of IT load, as well as 15,000 square feet of supporting office/business continuity space. It will begin construction in the first quarter of 2008 and expects the facility to be completed by September 2008. The company acquired Naritaweg 52 for 18.9 million EUR. The building is 100 percent leased through September 2011 to an international IT services company. It consists of over 24,000 square feet of raised floor technical space and nearly 21,000 square feet of office and other space. "The addition of these two properties to our portfolio represents our continued expansion into select European markets, and is consistent with our strategy of acquiring high quality income producing assets along with value-add properties suitable for redevelopment," says Michael F. Foust, CEO of Digital Realty Trust.
Digital Realty Trust announced yesterday it will host a group of upcoming seminars that will provide data center professionals with practical information about best practices for data center cooling.

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.
