February 26, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- VeriSign, Inc. (verisign.com), a provider of digital trust
services, today announced the establishment of its Europe, Middle East and
Africa headquarters in Geneva. Besides Geneva, VeriSign has offices in
Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, Denmark, UK, and Spain among other
locations.
"We chose Geneva for our EMEA headquarters because of its leading role as a
global center for international trade, banking, and telecommunications,"
said Stratton Sclavos, president and CEO of VeriSign. "Headquartering in
Geneva enables us to work directly with our partners to meet their needs,
forge stronger relationships with our customers, and ultimately achieve our
first goal - giving people the confidence to engage in commerce and
communications in a trusted digital environment."
VeriSign began operations in 1995 and over the years has grown to provide a
range of digital trust services powered by a global infrastructure that
manages five billion network connections and transactions a day. The company
has four core offerings: Web presence services, security services, payment
services, and telecommunications services. VeriSign is a provider of the
digital identity of over 6.5 million business and individual customers, the
company says.
Through its network of European channel partners and directly, VeriSign will
deliver localized domain name registration services, e-mail, secure site
seals, brand management, digital payment and authentication services to
consumers and small to mid-sized businesses.
The VeriSign Trust Network of PKI affiliates has provided European
enterprises, financial institutions and government organizations with
advanced implementations of VeriSign digital trust services, such as use of
secure smart cards and soon with citizen ID cards. PKI affiliates represent
VeriSign in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria,
Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Israel, Egypt, Kuwait and South
Africa.
The newly established Geneva support center will give VeriSign affiliates
access to increased levels of technical training and sales support to
deliver these services, the company said. VeriSign will move product
creation teams to the Geneva headquarters to build European technology
platforms used by affiliates. VeriSign will also fulfill country-specific
legal, policy, and technical requirements with the creation of a local test
facility.

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.
