"The holiday season is the busiest time of year for online merchants. Consumers purchasing online expect their personal information to be kept safe," said Brad Caldwell, CEO of SecurityMetrics. "With our Free Server/Firewall Test, merchants can protect themselves against loss of consumer confidence and revenue by keeping information safe. Because of our high quality products, MasterCard has certified us as an SDP compliant security tester."
According to SecurityMetrics, the server/firewall test scans up to 65,535 ports and performs thousands of vulnerability checks, including a password-cracking test.
Test results and a security report with recommended courses of action are available online at https://www.securitymetrics.com/serverfirewalltest1.adp

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.

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.
