isabel says: He'll be covering all the usual hot topics: SaaS, Web 2.0, mobile web access, etc - in the context of how they affect the web hosting landscape. I was surprised when he asked if I know of any research he could use to back up his claim that these are significant trends. (via Cosmos)

Web Host Industry Review | theWHIR Blogs, A community of expert perspectives: In August 2005, IDC surveyed 400 companies across a wide range of industries and found that more than half hosted Internet facing websites in-house.

Web Host Industry Review | theWHIR Blogs, A community of expert perspectives: I watched Vlad and Bert strategize on how best to help ServePath's sales team follow up the leads they'd collected.

  Netcraft: Two other prominent grid initiatives launched this year by dedicated hosting companies, ServePath's UtilityServe and Rackspace-backed Mosso, price their grid hosting plans at $99 a month.
