(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Payment Card Industry compliance and web hosting provider YesPCI (www.yespci.com) has chosen security and compliance solutions provider ControlScan (www.controlscan.com) as its PCI compliance services provider, increasing the safety and security of its merchant processing and further protecting its consumers' privacy.
According to ControlScan's Monday announcement, ControlScan will provide YesPCI's eCommerce platform with a full suite of PCI scanning and security services, making the recently founded company's online credit card transactions more secure. PCI compliance is a standard that was created by the PCI Security Standards Council (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), comprised of all the major credit card companies to impose rules on the processing of cardholder data.
"In partnering with ControlScan, we are able to deliver a truly all-in-one hosting and payment processing solution for online merchants," YesPCI executive director Jason Taylor said in a statement. "By leveraging our enterprise-level infrastructure and ControlScan's expertise in PCI compliance, our customers benefit from a fully-managed, integrated, and certified secure hosting environment. We're resolving the unnecessary anxiety faced by online merchants."
Those using YesPCI's platform, which includes dedicated hosting, merchant processing and security solutions, will give users access to ControlScan's full-service PCI solution, which includes a self assessment questionnaire, on-demand security scanning and access to ControlScan's merchant portal. Merchants can also take advantage of ControlScan's security certification seals, which may help merchants increase online sales and decrease shopping cart abandonment.
Earlier this year, virtual private server hosting provider KickAssVPS (www.kickassvps.com) partnered with ControlScan to offer PCI compliance scanning for e-commerce customers, giving them access to ControlScan's PCI compliance scanning and vulnerability reporting.

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.
