Pearl River, New York - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - December 22, 2006 - Web hosting firm, Easy CGI, has
implemented a cluster of Barracuda Spam Firewall servers to protect its customers from spam and viruses, for every shared hosting plan that Easy CGI offers.

The Barracuda Spam Firewall provides comprehensive protection against the most current email-borne threats that can cripple an unprotected network.

Dan Richfield, President and CEO of Easy CGI explained, ”Our network processes more than three million email messages during a typical business day, with about 90 percent of those messages being spam. We found that our in-house spam prevention solutions were coming up short, and we consider ourselves fortunate that the Barracuda Spam Firewall fit our requirements so well. We performed extensive testing on a number of software and hardware solutions and quickly realized that Barracuda Networks offered the most effective spam and virus protection. By preventing over 95 percent of spam and viruses from reaching our customers’ email boxes, the quality of life for every one of our customers is vastly improved.”

Stephen Pao, Vice President of Product Management for Barracuda Networks added, ”Web hosting providers, including Easy CGI, have been hit hard by the recent increase in spam volume, making it more important than ever for these organizations to offer powerful email protection for their customers.

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - December 22, 2006 - Website hosting and domain registrar company, GoDaddy.com, has created a new method for sharing photos on the World Wide Web, with its Online Photo Filer.

Designed to be an affordable, easy-to-use solution, both shutterbugs and Internet amateurs can view images without logging in. Online Photo Filer is a photo manager that helps users store and present their images on a specialized web site, at their own domain name. By registering a personalized web address, you can give your friends and family an easy-to-remember and relevant address to view your favorite photos. Your viewers can order wallet through poster-sized prints directly from the application and have them shipped to their door.

The service supports single photo or bulk upload options, whereby you may add entire directories to your online collection. Once uploaded, you can choose from a variety of editing options, all managed from the comfort of your own domain name. Individual galleries may be password protected, kept private or shared publicly. The Photo Marketing Association International (pmai.org) estimated that 20.5 million digital cameras were sold in 2005. This drove demands for 7.7 billion digital prints; digital photography is here to stay.

Warren Adelman, President and COO of GoDaddy.com offered, ”The idea is to allow all digital camera owners to share their images, online and in print, without the fuss. There are other photo-sharing sites online, but most make you use their long and impossible to remember URLs, or they make your friends give up information to view your photos. With Online Photo Filer, you just provide them your personalized domain name.”

Go Daddy is a leading provider of services developed to enable individuals and businesses to establish, maintain and evolve an online presence. Go Daddy provides a variety of domain name registration and web site hosting services, as well as a broad array of on-demand and other services.

Chicago, Illinois - (Website Hosting Directory) - December 22, 2006 - According to managed web hosting provider, SingleHop, businesses should prepare for a record breaking spam season, fueled largely in part by the increase in online consumer spending.

Zak Boca, President of SingleHop remarked, ”Spam is the insidious byproduct of life online. And when the stakes are high — especially during the holidays — expect spammers to try every trick in the book to separate consumers from their dollars. The key is to be on your guard and make sure you have your filters up.”

According to SingleHop, these are the Top Five Ways spam can ruin your holidays this season:

1) Spam has nearly doubled since 2005 and now occupies more space in your in box than any other kind of mail.
2) New forms of spam can self open, and automatically add you to a distribution list when you attempt to unsubscribe.
3) This season’s spam is designed to circumvent filters.
4) Phishing spam messages emulate legitimate sites — like eBay and bank sites, and are designed to trick you into surrendering personal data.
5) Offshore spam mail from criminals has dramatically increased, looking for people with a “get rich quick” mindset. If any solicitations include wire transfers, attorney’s names, cashier’s checks or deposed royalty, hit the delete button immediately.

Mr. Boca continued, ”There’s a holiday spike in spam every year because spammers specifically target those that are shopping. With technological advancements spammers can design messages to penetrate spam filters, which is why you’ll find so much spam in free online email providers. Most businesses utilize an Internet Service Provider. Make sure that your provider’s filters are constantly updated and that you augment this with your own spam filter system. It’s literally a trench fight.”

SingleHop, Inc. is a fully transparent managed dedicated server ISP, located in Chicago, IL. SingleHop was formed to deliver low cost managed IT services for the small to medium enterprises from a central Midwest hub location. The company has capacity for over 2000 servers in one datacenter, with a network powered entirely by Cisco.

Research web hosting resellers at The Hosting News.

Davie, Florida - (Website Hosting Directory) - December 21, 2006 - Web hosting and cPanel provider, WebCinch, LLC, has launched a new line of reseller web hosting services, including new Linux-based reseller hosting plans, which rely on the cPanel/WHM control panel system.

The solution is hosted on Intel Quad Core Dual Xeon servers, offering customers a robust and reliable hosting environment. Reseller plans include up to 40GBs of disk storage space and up to 300GB of monthly bandwidth capacity.

Eric Barbaglia, Founder of WebCinch remarked, ”One of our strongest selling points in the past months for WebCinch has been our priority of not skimming on the hardware or the network side of our hosting packages. So by introducing today’s fully-loaded reseller offerings, we are once again given an opportunity to demonstrate our business and service priorities. I think our customers really appreciate that.”

WebCinch’s new reseller plans include many popular hosting service add-ons, such as the Fantastico! script auto-installer package, photo gallery software, the Soholaunch Pro website builder, and support for an array of development languages. Reseller hosting was introduced after an increasing number of existing and prospective clients had specifically requested it to be offered.

Mr. Barbaglia continued, ”Ultimately, by offering this, we are not only able to provide an opportunity for our current shared hosting clients to upgrade to a larger hosting environment, but we are also able to serve a wider spectrum of clients with more advanced and diverse needs. Significant overselling allows many hosting companies the ability to engage in and often to win competitive price wars. As we see it, this practice not only adversely affects service quality, but it also represents a business model that simply cannot be sustained effectively in the long term.”

The company will maintain hosting accounts on the appropriate number of servers needed to house them, as opposed to hosting large numbers of clients on few, under-equipped servers. Reseller plans start at $22.95/monthly and include a 30 day money back guarantee.

Founded in 2006, WebCinch is a new web solutions firm specializing in cPanel-based business-class web hosting. The company appeals to customers with its comprehensive approach to customer support, and unparalleled service reliability.

Uniondale, New York - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - December 20, 2006 - Search directory, Best of the Web, located online at BOTW.org since 1994, has recently acquired the highly-prized domain name, bestoftheweb.com.

In an ongoing effort to expand intellectual property and strengthen its’ online brand, Best of the Web procured a top Internet address to help bring in 2007 in style. Effective immediately, all Best of the web offerings can now be accessed through the Bestoftheweb.com domain.

We believe that over a short period of time, the name bestoftheweb.com will become a well-recognized brand name. When people are looking for quality search results, we expect that they will turn increasingly to bestoftheweb.com.”

Brian Prince, CEO of Best of the Web added, ” The recent purchase of the bestoftheweb.com domain name was another feather in our cap. Using the acronym BOTW, we have encountered some domain confusion in the marketplace, and this acquisition should really help in strengthening our brand recognition as Best of the Web. As we continue to expand our marketing efforts, it helps tremendously to have an easily recognizable and memorable domain name.”

A comprehensive, searchable directory that promotes a better online experience by recognizing and categorizing the best of what the Internet has to offer, Best of the Web generates more than 2 million page views every month. By focusing on quality sites, BOTW can repeatedly deliver relevant information to users, free of the spam found on so many other search platforms.

BOTW relied upon the expertise of Moniker.com for the domain acquisition. Mr. Prince continued, ”It was an important purchase for us and we wanted the assistance of a market leader. You don’t go shopping for Park Avenue real estate without the help of a broker.”

According to the company, the Internet’s oldest directory, Best of the Web, got its start in 1994 by empowering the burgeoning online community to nominate and vote for best-of-class websites in a variety of categories. As the Internet grew in popularity, Best of the Web evolved into a comprehensive directory categorizing content-rich, well designed websites.
