April 24, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Colocation provider TelecityRedbus (telecityredbus.com) announced on Tuesday it has achieved the ISO27001 certification for information security management systems in multiple data centers across Europe.
TelecityRedbus says the certification demonstrates its commitment to the highest security standards and means customers can be confident that the company has implemented security precautions in accordance with international standards.
ISO27001 is one of the most rigorous international standards for system and physical security measures and replaces BS7799, the original British Standards Institute standard, says the company.
"ICT and telecommunications represent the primary means for delivering today's business. Information security is a key concern for any organization and our customers need to be assured that they can outsource business critical applications safely," says Mike Tobin, CEO of TelecityRedbus. "Achieving ISO27001 underscores our commitment to protecting our customers' information assets and they can rest assured that their business critical information is protected by security procedures that meet international standards for best practice."
Tobin also recently joined clean energy storage system manufacturer Pentadyne Power's board of directors.

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.
