Don’t get me wrong…this is a well written, insightful book.
It is however a roadmap for a prospective outsourcing customer
rather than a design guide for those of us in the hosting industry.
Inversely, it teaches our industry what not to do, but as an industry engineer, I was hoping to find a best technical practices and design guide rather than a product qualification matrix with a lot of text around it.

not a hands on book. this is rather a guide to what to look for in web hosting architectures and things to consider whether you are looking at colocation or full outsourcing this will give you the education you need to make the right decisions. again, this will not tell you how to configure a load balancer or a redundant infrastructure, but it will explain common approaches to hosting problems and how to resolve them and general best practices in architecture, planning, selection. I’ve seen many of these books and this is the best.

Doug Kaye’s the expert when it comes to architecting strategies for web hosting services.
This book captures his best advice on the subject — learned through his experiences with several actual projects and companies. Doug’s a straight shooter — and he takes that same direct approach in this book.
One of my favorite chapters in the book is “The Dark Side of Outsourcing” — where he tells you everything that can go wrong — so you’re prepared to avoid all of those things.
If you’re looking for a ‘how to think’ approach to the problem of outsourcing your hosting, this book is the place to start!

Finally, a reliable web hosting resource I can feel comfortable referring my e-commerce consulting clients to … covers all the bases in a way non-IT execs can understand and appreciate. A useful reference for any business-savvy, economy-minded IT professional.
