February 14, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- VeriSign Inc. (verisign.com), a provider of digital trust
services, today announced the availability of a new secure messaging and
document delivery solution for enterprises. The latest in VeriSign's suite
of secure messaging services, SecureExpress employs VeriSign's
authentication services, including its managed PKI services, digital
signature, encryption and roaming technologies. Developed in partnership
with Slam Dunk Networks, SecureExpress enables companies and individuals to
send confidential communications quickly and securely.
Currently, overnight letters and envelopes account for the largest portion
of all domestic air shipments in the United States, representing 44.6
percent of total shipments. However, the physical delivery systems
transporting these documents offer none of the safeguards embedded in online
secure messaging or any of the conveniences of real-time delivery.
By eliminating the need for both senders and receivers to have their own
digital certificates, SecureExpress streamlines messaging and eliminates
cost burdens for businesses and individuals receiving secure messages. Users
can send and receive messages from their desktop, portable laptop, or home
computer with greater security than in the physical world.
The SecureExpress service is available at secureexpress.verisign.com where
customers may enroll in the service directly, learn more about how to send
and receive secure messages, and contact VeriSign with other questions.
SecureExpress will also be available through VeriSign partner channels
domestically and internationally and through VeriSign's sales team.
VeriSign will issue a digital certificate with a validated e-mail address to
each subscriber. The digital ID is used to sign and encrypt data sent
through the SecureExpress service which acts as a third party to identify
the holder of an e-mail address, assure the recipient that the message or
document attached has not been tampered with, and facilitate the encryption
and decryption of messages and documents.
SecureExpress protects online correspondence by leveraging VeriSign's PKI
technology, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Secure Multi-Purpose Internet Mail
Extensions (S/MIME) standards. SecureExpress uses service delivery and
messaging technology from Slam Dunk Networks, incorporating technology from
Tumbleweed Communications.
VeriSign offers two types of subscriber membership for the SecureExpress
service: Full membership and receive-only membership. Full membership allows
subscribers to send and receive secure messages through SecureExpress. The
free receive-only membership allows subscribers to receive messages through
SecureExpress.

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.
