CWahi Celebrates One Year Online - August 04, 2009, 01:37:46 pm

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORONTO – CWahi.Net, the free hosting provider, celebrates its first year online.  “It has been an amazing and eye opening year.” said Tony Holmes, founder and lead architect of CWahi.net. “The web has changed dramatically in the past 12 years, but the desire for free hosting without a lot of constraints remains consistent.”

When asked about the biggest difference, Mr. Holmes replied “The demographics, absolutely.  When we offered free hosting the first time around, it was US dominated, accounting for 90% of our traffic. Now the US comprises a smaller but significant population of around 15%, with a traffic rank of approximately 9%. It is gratifying that we are recognized internationally.”

The current member population is nearing 25,000 members and the service remains community focused. “This first year was about finding out how the needs of our members have changed. Now that we have a handle on that, the second year will be focused on providing our members with what they want, and more. The list never ends and always changes given the feedback from our members.” explained Mr. Holmes. “It is going to be a very busy, very good year.”

CWahi is a division of Crosswinds.net, a web host that was established in 1997, and was one of the original free hosting providers. Crosswinds has been in operation for over a decade, offering a full complement of paid hosting services.  With CWahi, Crosswinds has returned to it’s free hosting roots.

CWahi Adds User Site Statistics - June 18, 2009, 01:04:08 pm

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORONTO – Cwahi.Net, the free hosting provider, has added a feature that has been requested repeatedly – per user site statistics. CWahi was already utilizing the Quantcast.Com to measure overall statistics such as traffic trends, growth, demographics and geography. Today they implemented a seamless display of key statistics to user, information broken down by sub-domain, where each sub-domain represents one users’ site.

More advanced information is planned, but other requests have higher priority. “The provided statistics address the key metrics that our members want – the number of page views, people and visits, or sessions, for the past week, month and all time. This information is laid out simply and in a graphical format within their control panel. A single click gets them their information.” said Tony Holmes, the founder and lead architect of CWahi.Net.

CWahi is a division of Crosswinds.net, a web host that was established in 1997, and was one of the original free hosting providers. The downturn of the internet economy (the dot-Com Crash) necessitated the launch of paid web hosting and the termination of the free service in 2003. Crosswinds has been in operation for over a decade, offering a full complement of paid hosting services. Since 2003, the Crosswinds team had the desire to offer free web space to members once again. With CWahi, this has become a reality.
