August 25, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Canadian Web hosting provider Rackforce (rackforce.com) announced on Wednesday that it has launched ddsHurricane, its newest dedicated server.
"As with other servers in the DDS family, customers can start with an entry level virtual server, like the ddsHurricane, and upgrade to a fully dedicated server like our ddsVenom, with no configuration changes, no downtime and no cost for the transition," says Brian Fry, vice president of sales for Rackforce. "We know that success oriented resellers need scaleable servers this is why we have put so much effort into engineering our 'DDS' model. We believe it's the next generation in hosting solutions."
The ddsHurricane dedicated server comes with the cPanel (cpanel.net) automation solution pre-installed and includes 2 IPs, 10 GB of disk space, an unmetered Internet connection providing more than 400 GB of transfer and a guaranteed minimum of 256 MB of RAM and 300 Mhz of CPU cycles. The servers, priced at $49.95 per month, are immediately 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.

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.
