(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT infrastructure service provider VeriSign (www.verisign.com) and domain registrar eNom (www.enom.com) announced on Monday they have partnered to make it easier for eNom resellers to offer its customers secure sockets layer certificates.
Under the new agreement, eNom will promote and distribute VeriSign branded SSL certificates through its retail and reseller channels.
"Through this new agreement, VeriSign and eNom are creating a reseller program built around the most trusted mark on the Internet," says Jeff Eckhaus, senior vice president and general manager at eNom. "Now, website hosting companies, registrars and resellers can provide their customers with SSL certificates that bear the brand recognized more often than any other on the Web. With VeriSign, our resellers have an instant competitive advantage by launching the established VeriSign brand."
eNom resellers can now purchase VeriSign SSL certificates through eNom's platform-independent API and its PDQ instant reseller solution.
In addition to SSL certificates, eNom offers domain registration, email hosting, and web hosting services.
The VeriSign Secured Seal appears on Web pages of merchants whose identities have been verified by VeriSign through SSL certification.
Website visitors can click on the seal to verify a merchant's site information in real time.
VeriSign offers a range of SSL, identity and authentication, and domain name services to companies and consumers all over the world.
In February, VeriSign began offering VeriSign Non-Federal Shared Service Provider PKI, a managed PKI service designed for all organizations needing interoperability with the federal government, including state and local governments, government contractors.

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.
