October 10, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- E-commerce merchant account provider e-onlinedata (e-onlinedata.com) announced on Wednesday it has launched a wide-ranging, co-marketing program with e-commerce solutions provider buySAFE (buysafe.com). Now, merchants approved by e-onlinedata will instantly qualify for a buySAFE-certified account, which will allow them to display the buySAFE Seal on their website and bond guarantee in their checkout.
"Research has proven that shoppers who are comfortable and confident in the trustworthiness of a merchant are more likely to complete an online purchase and return to make future purchases," says Stephen Goodrich, president of PowerPay, the parent company of e-onlinedata. "We wanted to go above and beyond the industry standard and make it easy for our merchants to offer that level of consumer protection through buySAFE."
e-onlinedata merchants who select buySAFE will receive the buySAFE Seal, certifying that the merchant is trustworthy and continuously monitored, and that its customers' purchases can be fully guaranteed with a bond from buySAFE and its surety partners Liberty Mutual, Travelers and ACE USA.
buySAFE's Seal and bond guarantee is offered to any e-onlinedata-approved merchants. Also, buySAFE merchants receive discounted pricing on e-onlinedata's suite of e-commerce payment processing solutions.

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.
