December 14, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider Amenworld (amenworld.com) announced on Tuesday that it has launched a low-cost Windows dedicated server for £29 per month, the same price it is offering for its low-cost Linux dedicated server. The company said it hopes the offering will help increase its share of the SME hosting market and is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure its product offerings evolve in line with market demands.
"Windows for the price of Linux is an unprecedented hosting offer in the UK and a very meaningful gesture to the market," says Dick Theunissen, president of Amen. "Not only do we want to keep serving Linux and open source customers, but our aim is also to democratize access to Windows dedicated hosting."
The new Windows dedicated server runs on Windows Server 2003 and comes with the Plesk 7.0 control panel. The servers come with either an AMD Duron 1600MHz, AMD Athlon 2400 MHz or AMD XP 2800 MHz CPU, 256 MB, 512 MB or 768 MB RAM, 80GB or 120 GB of hard drive space, monthly traffic of 1024 GB, 1- 4 IP addresses, ASP.net and a reseller interface.
The £29 per month price is available until January 2, 2005 with a six-month commitment. The regular price is £49 per month. Amenworld does not charge set-up fees for its server packages.

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.
