May 11, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Colocation provider TELEHOUSE America (telehouse.com) announced on Tuesday that content delivery network operator Limelight Networks (limelightnetworks.com) had become a new member of the NYIIX (nyiix.net) Internet exchange point.TELEHOUSE, which operates peering exchanges in New York and Los Angeles, says Limelight is the first to activate NYIIX's new remote switch at the 111 8th Avenue location in New York. It also marks the first 10GigE interconnect to Limelight's content delivery network.
"Limelight Networks saw the key role NYIIX's seamless fabric could play in the media and entertainment content space," says Michael Vallone, head of marketing at TELEHOUSE. "Their quick action to utilize the advantages the NYIIX provides illustrates why they are the industry leaders. We look forward to working with them for many years to come."
TELEHOUSE says Limelight will now have the potential to peer with the hundreds of carriers through the NYIIX fabric connecting the 25 Broadway, 111 8th and 60 Hudson Street locations. The NYIIX is the only peering point to offer a 10GigE interface speed from all three locations, TELEHOUSE says.
"The demand for the rich media we distribute goes beyond the capabilities of OC-12 and OC-48 carrier to carrier peering cross connections and the limitations within the carrier networks", says Nathan Raciborski, chief network architect for Limelight Networks. "NYIIX's 10GigE interface speed offers us a significant step up in our ability to meet our clients' needs. Our strategy is to convert our 1GigE links to 10GigE wherever possible and to be ready to quickly take advantage its successor - most likely 40GigE - when it becomes available."

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.
