December 17, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Digital trust services provider VeriSign Inc. (VeriSign.com) announced on Tuesday that it has launched a Name Store fulfillment platform designed to expand and simplify the offerings provided by domain name retailers to their customers.
VeriSign Global Registry Services is launching the Name Store with a country-code top level domain program that makes it simple for registrars to give customers access to sought-after CCTLDs. The service allows registrars to add several domains to their registration services, including .de, .uk, .jp, .nz, .be, .at and .mx.
The Name Store was created, says VeriSign, with three goals in particular: to improve the fulfillment process naming services offered by registrars; to expand the breadth of future services registrars can offer; and to provide registrars with options for deepening existing customer relationships.
"VeriSign is using its infrastructure and experience to make the domain name business more robust," said Rusty Lewis, executive vice president, VeriSign Global Registry Services. "By provisioning a wide array of name services through our Name Store platform, we're making it easier for registrars to serve their existing customer base and to source new business, all while removing the need for them to develop their own complex fulfillment technology."

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.
