News: Hostway Journalists ‘Freedom of the Press' With Six Months of Free Web Hosting
Offer Designed to Let Freelance Writers Experience Benefits of Personal Web Sites
CHICAGO – Nov. 14, 2003 – Freedom of the press is one of America's foundation values. Web-services leader Hostway Corporation is making it a tangible value by giving freelance writers and journalists six months of free Internet Web-site hosting.
Many journalists and freelance writers have begun using personal Web sites to develop business opportunities, communicate with readers and clients, maintain Weblogs or “blogs,” facilitate the submission and editing of manuscripts between themselves and their editors, and achieve other goals both business and personal.
“The Internet is the ultimate First Amendment medium,” said John Lee, marketing director of Hostway. “Freedom of the press is something we take seriously, and we think our offer of free Web site hosting for writers and journalists shows our support for that idea. More importantly, it exemplifies our belief in the concept that every person will soon have a personal Web site to use as a basic platform for communication.”
With the bewildering array of Web services available to writers and journalists – many of whom are unfamiliar with Web-hosting technologies and unsure of their need or ability to manage a personal Web site – Hostway's offer provides a simple, affordable solution that lets writers experience the benefits of having their own Web sites.
To the first 1,000 qualifying writers, Hostway will provide hosting service at no charge for the first six months – a savings of more than $120. To qualify for the offer, journalists and freelance writers only need to submit an article with their byline that has been published in print or online since the beginning of 2003 to freepress@hostway.com. More information is available at www.hostway.com/freepress.
Writers who take advantage of Hostway's “Freedom of the Press” offer also may register an Internet domain name through Hostway for just $6.95, and can use Hostway's InstantSite service for $12.95 to build a simple, customized Web site.

Netcraft analysis revolutionizes hosting industry market research
Anonymous writes "November 10th, BATH, England – Netcraft announced today that its Hosting Provider Switching Analysis, launched in June, is now licensed by hosting companies who provide the infrastructure for over 14% of the active web sites on the Internet.
Using Netcraft's switching analysis, a hosting company can identify where new customers were previously hosted, where customers it has lost have moved to, and inspect the same information for any of the world's top 1500 hosting companies.
"We see Netcraft's switching analysis as a key indicator of customer satisfaction," says Robert Marsh, EV1Servers' founder and CEO. "We've found it to be an invaluable tool for monitoring our performance relative to other hosting providers. By providing a quantitative measurement of our quality of service, Netcraft's data has helped keep us on our toes."
Within a few months of launch the analysis has been licensed by many of the leading companies in the hosting industry as a way of tracking their own progress, identifying both weak and dangerous competitors, gauging the impact of competitive upgrade offers, and researching their entry into new markets.
"1&1 Internet is the world's biggest web host and a crucial aspect of our growth is to constantly improve and evolve our products and services”, says Andreas Gauger, CEO of 1&1 Internet AG. “Netcraft's Switching Analysis has been of great value to us. Netcraft keeps an unerring eye on the market and provides us with reliable figures. The Hosting Provider Switching Analysis helps any observer to identify the web host that cares most for its customers."
The hosting industry continues to be extremely competitive with early venture funded leaders losing ground to a new wave of organically grown hosting providers funded by customer revenues. Timely and accurate data on the movements of sites between hosting providers is critical to hosting companies, their suppliers and investors.
"Netcraft represents a real revolution in market research. Firms like Gartner can tell you what they think people are going to do. Netcraft can tell you what people are actually doing." said Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Associates.
The dataset covers hosting providers worldwide and monitors movements of web sites in all gTLD and ccTLD domains. Netcraft continually explores the internet finding new sites and queries each to determine the web server, operating system, and hosting location. Netcraft currently has over 45 million web sites in its database, and compares the hosting location of each site month by month to track market changes in the hosting industry.
