May 8, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Security certificate provider DigiCert (digicert.com) announced on Tuesday it is now offering Extended Validation SSL certificates, a third-party verification created to combat fraud and promote customer confidence online.
In response to escalating phishing and identity theft threats over the years, DigiCert and other major certificate authorities joined with browser makers to form the CA/Browser Forum and develop current guidelines for EV certificates. Extended Validation SSL certificates work with high security Web browsers such as IE7 to turn the address bar green, assuring customers that the Web site's identity has been confirmed, and that the Web site is not a copycat site trying to steal passwords or credit card numbers.
"At an introductory price of $495, DigiCert's EV offering is an unbeatable value," says DigiCert's CEO Ken Bretschneider, "especially when you consider that our EV certificates include our Plus feature which secures your chosen site name with or without the 'www.' For example, if you order a DigiCert EV Certificate for the site name 'www.digicert.com', your certificate will include 'digicert.com' free of charge."
For customers with multiple load balanced Web servers, DigiCert also offers an unlimited server license for an additional one-time fee of $295, based on a one year EV certificate. The unlimited license enables users to install their certificate on two or more servers without having to pay a per-server price for each additional server.

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.

EV SSL is great, but much expensive...
