March 7, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Rodopi Software (rodopi.com), a provider of customer billing
and management solutions for ISPs and ASPs, announced yesterday it has
signed an agreement with Tucows Inc. (tucows.com),
a provider of Internet services to ISPs and Web hosting companies, to provide an integrated
solution based on Tucows' OpenSRS domain registration platform and Rodopi's
billing software.
"Internet service providers are faced with challenges acquiring, renewing
and accurately billing for high volume products such as domain names," said
Art Ekroos, Rodopi's executive vice president. "It is a fast-growing market
and there are few solutions for businesses faced with these troublesome
operational issues."
By using Tucows' OpenSRS platform along with Rodopi's billing software,
ISPs, ASPs and Web hosting companies will be able to use a single integrated
system, offering their customers simplified domain registration processes,
while ensuring automated billing for those services.
"We feel we have put together a total solution for domain businesses to
operate efficiently and automatically, allowing customers to easily scale as
they grow their businesses," said Ekroos.

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.
