The PW Registry Corporation, public trustee of the PW domain, says the PW extension is ideal for the creation and management of social networks and online communities. A PW email address allows users to protect their own personal information and register email identities related to their membership in a social network.
"With spam and personal privacy threats on the rise, consumers are looking to gain better control of their personal information online. They are looking for ways to communicate with like-minded people without risking personal information or compromising the addresses of friends and colleagues," says Thomas Barrett, founder of PW Registry Corporation. "The availability of PW capitalizes on the growing consumer demand for email portability and a permanent Internet identity that is meaningful to the individual. Resellers can take immediate advantage of this consumer interest by bundling it as part of access plans or as part of personal Web sites, online communities and social networks."
The PW Registry also announced that it is offering a new monthly registration term for resellers, allowing domain registrars, Internet service providers and Web hosting companies to bundle the PW address with their other service offerings. PW Registry said this would allow resellers to avoid the expense of annual registration fees.
Public availability of the PW extension is slated for later this spring.

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.
