December 11, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Internet security solutions provider VeriSign (verisign.com) announced on Monday it has generally launched its Extended Validation SSL Certificates, which help protect users against online fraudulent activity by providing third party verification of a Web site's authenticity.
These new certificates support Microsoft's IE7 browser and Windows Vista operating system, and they incorporate VeriSign's EV Upgrader technology, which enables all Windows XP clients using IE7 to display the same green address bar and other interface enhancements as Windows Vista clients. VeriSign issued the first of these certificates to online retailer Overstock.com.
"As the most recognized sign of trust on the Internet, VeriSign is the SSL provider of choice for over 93 percent of the Fortune 500, 47 of the 50 biggest e-commerce sites, and the world's 40 largest banks," says Chris Babel, vice president and general manager of SSL for VeriSign. "As of last Wednesday, we've been issuing the industry's first EV certificates. These new certificates continue our tradition of assuring site visitors that their personal and financial information is safe during online transactions."
Browser recognition of Extended Validation SSL certificates is expected to be activated by Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 by the end of next month. Customers can currently take advantage of a promotion on VeriSign SSL Certificates with EV now, providing a savings of up to $500. The offer expires January 31 and also includes EV Upgrader, a $300 value.

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.

Apart from Verisign, there are many other such as Comodo delivers the best network & support in the SSL market. This is the one that I personally suggest for sucure e-commerce transactions, because of its cost-effectiveness and reliability.
