August 18, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Email hosting provider Webmail.us (webmail.us) announced on Wednesday that it had integrated an RSS reader into its email hosting platform.
The reader can be integrated with Web mail and configured for any POP3 or IMAP-based desktop email client such as Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird. With the RSS reader, users can use their email clients to manage content gathered from blogs, news and other sources. No software download is necessary.
The reader also enables email administrators to optionally regulate RSS feeds and pre-subscribe feeds for their users.
RSS is short for "really simple syndication" and is a format for content syndication that enables publishers to syndicate their content across the Web.
"Combining RSS and email lowers the technology learning curve," says Pat Matthews, chief executive officer at Webmail.us. "People know how to use email - now they will know how to use RSS, sometimes without even realizing it. Likewise, some businesses don't want their users freely subscribing to RSS feeds, just as they don't want them freely surfing the Internet. We provide them with the option of adopting RSS according to their unique business needs."

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.
