October 23, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Dedicated server and managed hosting service provider ServePath (ServePath.com) announced on Tuesday that it has opened its new San Francisco data center facility.
ServePath says it is extending its presence in San Francisco?s south-of-market district at a time when many telecom facilities are closing, leaving millions of square feet of vacant office space and computing facilities. The company says it is growing because it is small, focused and able to provide reliable services.
?ServePath is doing well because our strong business case for outsourcing Internet servers is especially compelling in today?s tough climate,? says John Keagy, President and co-founder of ServePath. ?The economy is forcing companies to conserve cash so they don?t want to waste their capital and engineering resources when they can get better services cheaper, faster and easier through outsourcing.?
The new facility, says ServePath, is located in the Townsend Telecommunications Center at 650 Townsend Street, a building that also houses offices for Macromedia, Sega and several telecom companies.
The ServePath facility provides a controlled environment with UPS systems, an auto-start diesel generator, 864,000 watts of redundant power and multiple high-speed fiber connections to leading networks throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The physically secure facility is also removed from the building?s exterior walls and has security guards and alarm and fire suppression systems.
ServePath says the facility will be staffed 24/7 with ServePath engineers to ensure customer servers are always online and functioning.

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.
