December 16, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The Distributed Managed Task Force, Inc. (DMTF.org) announced today that Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Intel Corporation have led the formation of the new DMTF Server Management Working Group. According to DMTF, the group will build and evolve the DMTF's Common Information Model (CIM) specification to deliver a platform-independent, industry standard server hardware management architecture.
DMTF said the group will hold its first face-to-face meetings this week on December 17-18 and is committed to delivering its first specifications by July 1, 2004.
"As IT organizations face increasing complexity and costs associated with operating multiple server platforms across diverse departments, sites and geographies, continued work in the area of server management is critical," said Winston Bumpus, president of DMTF. "The DMTF is the logical place for this critical work to take place, and we look forward to the progress that will emerge in the near future from this new working group."
The group also includes AMD, Microsoft, Oracle, OSA Technologies and Sun Microsystems, Inc.

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.
