March 8, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Digital Realty Trust (digitalrealtytrust.com), a manager and operator of technology-related properties, announced on Tuesday that research consortium WIDE Project had selected the San Francisco-based 200 Paul Avenue Internet gateway and colocation facility as a new node in its worldwide network and moved its West Coast distance education studio there.
"200 Paul Avenue is the ideal site for this kind of distance education studio because of the availability of fiber, Internet transit and peering services, which provide the infrastructure necessary to support the advanced video and data technologies used in the studio," says Dr. Akira Kato, board member of WIDE Project and associate professor at the University of Tokyo. "WIDE Project is very pleased to be working with Digital Realty to accommodate our global infrastructure and distance education studio."
The company says moving to 200 Paul Avenue will facilitate distance education between San Francisco and classrooms across the world.
"WIDE Project's selection of 200 Paul Avenue as a core node on its global network is an affirmation that Digital Realty Trust's Internet Gateway facilities are truly world-class," says Michael F. Foust, chief executive officer of Digital Realty Trust. "Even more rewarding is WIDE Project's decision to host its distance learning lab at our San Francisco facility because the lab will play a vital role in supporting educational exchanges between universities throughout the world."

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.
