April 01, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The Application Performance Index (apdex.org) Alliance announced on Friday that two new companies, Akamai Technologies (akamai.com) and Keynote Systems (keynote.com), have joined the group, which launched earlier this month.
Now comprising 13 companies, the Alliance was formed to ensure that Apdex, an index that evaluates user satisfaction with the performance of enterprise applications, provides a cost-effective solution to a wide audience.
"The support of these companies is a powerful endorsement of the concept of creating an open standard, promoted by an influential alliance that can quickly move Apdex into the marketplace," says Apdex Alliance founder Peter Sevcik. "We have reached the tipping point where Apdex moves from a promising idea to a market-changing force."
As an important player in the application delivery systems market, Akamai provides dynamic content delivery and application acceleration, delivering between 10 and 20 percent of all public Web traffic on any given day. Keynote systems is an application performance leader, operating the world?s largest network of Internet performance measurement computers.

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.
