April 17, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- AT&T (att.com) announced on Wednesday the debut of a business local access offer that gives large enterprises and government agencies new options for eliminating reliance on other local telephone companies for their critical last-mile connections.
The offer - AT&T High Performance Access Service (HiPAS) - is targeted at the largest enterprise customers and government agencies with the most sophisticated applications and high bandwidth (between OC-3 and OC-192) needs.
"Customers have told us that last-mile access is critical to their business applications, yet service has historically been unreliable," said Barbara Peda, senior vice president of product management and product marketing, AT&T Business. "AT&T now offers businesses and government agencies secure service with 99.999 percent network reliability guaranteed through around-the-clock monitoring, alternate site back-up and an automated self-healing provision."
Reliable ?last mile? connections have been hard to come but are increasingly critical for business success.
?When you're faced with connecting a company's employees, customers and suppliers at locations spread across the United States and/or other countries, it becomes clear that carriers with limited networks and geographic reach just can't meet the demand," Peda said. "Over the last three years, AT&T has spent billions expanding and deepening the capabilities of its local, national and global network, enhancing its business services portfolios and rolling out e-capabilities and servicing tools designed to dramatically simplify businesses' ability to manage their business networking."

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.
