January 23, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Security certification provider ControlScan (controlscan.com) announced on Tuesday it has partnered with e-commerce Web application provider Superior Commerce (superiorcommerce.com).
ControlScan says Superior Commerce sought the partnership to expand its product offerings and to meet mandatory requirements for compliance with PCI credit card processing security standards. ControlScan says that, as an authorized PCI scanning vendor, it is able to perform the quarterly scanning and provide the annual self-assessment questionnaire required for compliance.
Superior Commerce customers that decide to use ControlScan's Internet security and marketing services will also receive business background reviews and be kept up to date with online privacy laws. Following the reviews, companies will have access to business background review certification that will identify them as safe to do business with.
"Privacy and security are the main concerns of consumers," says Richard Stanton, ControlScan's CEO. "Consumers want to do business with companies who take privacy and security seriously. By passing the audits associated with the ControlScan's different security plans, Superior Commerce customers are reassured that this company is committed to protecting their personal and credit card information and providing a safe online shopping experience."

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.
