June 26, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- SWsoft (sw-soft.com) announced today the launch of Plesk (plesk.com) Control Panel 6, the newest version of the popular control panel. The latest version includes new anti-spam features, enhanced Internet security and advanced traffic accounting.
According to SWsoft, Plesk Control Panel 6 can provide secure Web, e-mail and file transfer capability to a base of over 50 million mail users and over two million domains.
?While other software companies seek to resolve the problem of unsolicited e-mail, or spam, with lawsuits, we?ve developed ways to dramatically reduce spam with technology on the mail server side, and considering that Plesk manages over 50 million mail accounts we may actually hit spammers pretty hard,? said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft. ?Combined with our new security features, Plesk 6 offers an affordable enterprise-class level of protection to service provider customers plagued by spam and vulnerable to hackers.?
Plesk 6 offers new features for both providers and users, including domain level back-up and restore, multiple IP name-based hosting, Java application server support using Tomcat, improved Webmail capabilities, enhanced event manger capabilities, and action logs.
Other new features include an auto installation interface, client template creation, hard limits on disk space, WAP support for mobile Internet devices such as mobile telephones and PDAs, enhanced localized language selection, support for management of PostgreSQL in addition to MySQL, and a management interface for the mailman mailing list system.
Plesk, a hosting automation firm, was acquired by SWsoft on June 9.
Plesk 6 is available through hosting provider partners or directly from SWsoft. The Plesk 6 solution is also available under a new Plesk Lease Program starting from $19 per month per server.

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.
