August 4, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The PW Registry Corporation (pwregistry.pw), registrar for the .pw top-level domain, announced on Monday that Canadian Internet service provider Look Communications (look.ca) will include spam-free .pw email addresses with its broadband service offerings under a reseller agreement between the two companies. PW Registry's spam blocking service allows it to block unsolicited email before it enters the service provider network.
"Spam is a major cause of customer turnover in the service provider industry and an ongoing and significant strain on network hardware and expenses," says Tom Barrett, CEO and president of PW Registry. "PW Registry applies industry-leading anti-spam technology to protect end-users from unwanted spam. Because PW Registry operates the .pw top-level domain, we block spam at the core of the Internet, before it reaches service provider networks."
The .pw domain, unveiled earlier this year, stands for "personal web," and is intended for people and "communities of shared interests."
"Look has consistently introduced new innovations to the ISP marketplace," says Michael Cytrynbaum, chairman of Look Communications. "As one of the first .pw resellers, we can virtually guarantee that our customers will get their choice of .pw privacy-enabled email addresses."

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.
