News: Managed Email Security Services Trends with eleven and Variomedia
March 19, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- On demand security solutions provider Perimeter eSecurity (perimeterusa.com) announced on Monday that it has launched a new suite of Identity Protection Services which builds on its CounterPhish anti-phishing service, enhancing it with its new Pharming Shield offering. The suite of services will be available at a 33 percent discount through the end of April.
"Attacks are becoming increasingly personal because hackers will go to any length to convince end users that an imitation email or Web site is real," says Kevin Prince, CSO of Perimeter eSecurity. "They will even use your security vendor or a federal organization as 'bait.' Fraudulent phishing and pharming sites need to be taken down immediately to thwart further attacks and damage. Our Identity Protection Services average a three-hour take-down time for phishing and pharming sites in contrast to a nearly six-day industry average."
CounterPhish is an around the clock monitoring and quick reaction service designed to discover, validate and shut down phishing attacks fast. The service also enables the customer to identify potential phishing attacks, and provides a full audit trail through Perimeter's online portal facility.
Pharming Shield monitors critical systems around the clock and detects when unauthorized modifications are made to a Web site that could mean that it has been compromised. It then immediately alerts customers if any unauthorized changes are made to their DNS servers, Web sites, or SSL digital certificates and quickly resolves any compromises found. Perimeter says its Identity Protection Service suite is priced at an affordable monthly subscription rate.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. 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.
