January 26, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet performance monitoring firm Keynote Systems (keynote.com) announced on Wednesday it will collaborate with technology firm (hp.com) HP to deliver the HP OpenView Application Readiness Program, a complete service level management solution.
Expanding on an existing agreement, HP will recommend Keynote's LoadPro load testing solution as a component of its new Application Readiness Program. The program will allow HP OpenView implementation partners to help customers in the pre-deployment testing of Web applications and associated capacity planning.
The joint effort will help customers bridge the gap between development and IT operations throughout the application lifecycle, enabling customers to proactively test and tune applications. The end result is the ability to deliver high service levels and improve overall customer satisfaction. Additionally, development teams can pinpoint problem areas that prevent the delivery of expected service levels, resolving them to achieve a higher performance.

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.
