April 7, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider VIA NET.WORKS (vianetworks.com) announced this week the sale of two of its Swiss companies - VIA NET.WORKS (Schweiz) AG and VIA NET.WORKS Services AG - to former managers and owners of the business. The buy-out, led by Franz Grueter, Aldo Britschgi and Pius Grueter, was completed through their company, Solution24 AG.
This transfer of VIA?s two Swiss companies to their original management will provide continuity to its Swiss customers, partners and vendors, while maintaining a stable environment for its Swiss employees. VIA says the proceeds of the sale will provide it with additional funds, allowing the company time to continue exploring strategic and financial solutions to its immediate liquidity issues.
The company says it is discussing a variety of solutions, including the potential sale of all or parts of its business and the possibility of securing additional investments into, or financing for, the company. VIA says it should have an update on the progress of these solutions by next week.
VIA says that it is not in a position to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K within the required timetable. The company intends to conclude and publish its financial report for year 2004 and the fourth quarter 2004 once the strategic or financial solution is clarified.

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.
