September 9, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Canadian Web hosting provider Chinook Webs (Chinook-Computers.com) said on Friday that the company has implemented Ensim?s WEBppliance software in an effort to deliver state-of-the-art control panel-based hosting to its customers.
Chinook says the WEBppliance product is ideal for a smaller Web hosting company because of its ease of installation; Ensim?s extensive customer support system; the product?s ability deliver services such as PHP and MySQL on the Windows platform; the automation and simplification of the installation and use of mail software; the ability for customers to manage their own service; and the reasonable price.
Before settling on the Ensim platform, says Chinook, the company thoroughly researched its options, settling on what it considered to be both the best value and the best product.
Along with the Ensim software, Chinook implemented the Urchin 4 Web analytics platform. Again, the company researched the decision, and selected the product that it felt offered the best combination of price and performance.
The company says the best feature of the software is its ability to track visitors? paths through its site, providing in-depth click-through analysis.

October 2009 - 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.
