(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Managed web hosting provider Liquid Web (www.liquidweb.com) has made ServerSecure available for its Windows, and Heroic Support available for its Linux server customers, giving all customers access to server security hardening services.
According to Liquid Web's Monday announcements, ServerSecure will be an initial setup option on Windows hosting plans, providing many additional services and modifications to the default operating system and control panel installation. Exclusive to Liquid Web customers, the ServerSecure solution includes anti-virus protection, secure RDP, TCP hardening, DoS-Evasive, and Brute Force detection, which altogether greatly enhances the security, reliability, and compatibility of a client's server and software.
Also, fully managed Liquid Web Linux customers can now use Liquid Web's exclusive Heroic Support, which provides added services and tweaks to the default operating system and control panel installation to enhance the security, reliability, and compatibility of the servers and software, for both cPanel and Parallels Plesk Panel control panels.
Liquid Web said that these services would have normally cost clients hours of installation work, or the hiring of an outside systems administrator. "Your server is locked down, ready to run, as soon as you receive it," the company said.

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.
