June 14, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider C I Host (cihost.com) announced on Friday that it had launched a promotion offering Web designers, developers and software programmers free Web hosting for life.
Known for some radical marketing efforts, C I Host says it will provide 1,000MB of space, 20GB of transfer and unlimited email accounts as part of the free package. Along with the hosting services, C I Host says it will provide developers with a bounty for every new hosting client they refer to the company.
"This is another revenue stream for their businesses and another way for us to get the word out about the importance of a C I Host Web hosting package to the success of small and medium sized businesses," said C I Host CEO Christopher Faulkner. "Of the 40 million small businesses in this country, only 36 percent have Web sites. We hope that we can work with Web designers to boost that number, help those small businesses succeed and increase our customer base."

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.

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.
