Herndon, Virginia - (Website Hosting Directory) - May 9, 2008 - Network Solutions’ new WatchDog security product, is designed to protect online business owners and customers.

The new WatchDog web site security service, is aimed at monitoring web sites for known vulnerabilities and performance problems. WatchDog offers web site vulnerability scanning, web site performance monitoring, and a Certification Seal.

Charlie Buckley, Director of Security Product Development for Network Solutions noted, ”WatchDog provides our customers with the most complete package of web security services that are not only simple and user friendly, but also affordable. With this new Web site security tool business owners are alerted to major issues that could negatively impact their business.”

WatchDog is a comprehensive security package for Web site monitoring, which features three components, including Web Site Vulnerability Scanning, Web Site Performance Monitoring, and a Certification Seal. Working together, these three elements monitor vulnerabilities, availability and performance, and build customer trust and confidence.

Web Site Vulnerability Scanning detects existing site security holes that can be entry points for hackers. It can also detect whether hackers have already compromised a Web site. When a vulnerability is detected this feature sends alerts via e-mail or text message and stores a history of these reports in the customer’s Account Manager.

Web Site Performance Monitoring lets customers know when their web sites are unavailable or downloading slowly by tracking Web site uptime and web page load times. This web site monitoring feature downloads web sites approximately every five minutes from numerous locations around the world to track overall performance, including the performance of hosting providers. If a web site is down or not performing optimally, customers are sent alerts via e-mail or text message. Customers also receive weekly reports detailing their site’s performance.

WatchDog also offers a highly visible certification seal that dynamically displays the date of the last successful vulnerability scan. This seal offers peace of mind and trust, assuring visitors that the site they are visiting has been scanned for vulnerabilities. Web site monitoring is extremely important and is ideal for both ecommerce and informational web sites.

Houston, Texas - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 8, 2007 -
Eleven2 Hosting, has debuted the launch of its iPhone Email Anti-Spam solution, featuring new enhancements to protect iPhone user inboxes and screen out 99.9% of spam emails.

The custom-built spam protection combines anti-spam hardware appliances and in-house designed software to filter spam for iPhone email users, improving their user experience and lightening the load on Eleven2 servers. With total sales recently reaching one million, the number of users relying on the iPhone as their primary device for accessing mobile email continues to grow. Spam has the potential to be a major issue in clogging iPhone email inboxes.

Eleven2 has enabled a anti-spam scan engine which uses a layered approach to increase ”kill” rates while at the same time keeping false positives to an absolute minimum. Spam emails are identified through spam signature files and updated rules which are designed around actual identified spam, doing away with guessing and leading to extremely low false positives. Other enhancements include IMAP configurations which were heavily tweaked, redundant inbound mail servers and automated outbound IP address switching to prevent blocked sending of emails.

Rodney Giles, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Eleven2 offered, ”More and more people rely on accessing email primarily from mobile devices. We’ve seen how spam can cripple employee productivity through deluged inboxes, and how spam can bring company networks to their knees. We look to proactively tackle this problem so that iPhone users can experience email the way it was meant to be, with only actual messages in their inboxes.”

Eleven2 is looking to roll out additional future enhancements focused on iPhone users in the near future.

Eleven2 Hosting was formed back in early 2004 between two frustrated web developers who simply couldn’t find good hosting options on the Internet. With currently more than 60,000 web sites and years of experience, Eleven2 has become a world-class hosting provider that is here to stay. Eleven2 built and maintains its own state-of-the-art data-center facility and has continuously re-invented itself through the development of their own in-house automated support system.

Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - August 22, 2007 - Web hosting and domain registration provider, NetBambino, has unveiled a 6-IN-1 SSL Certificate, offering enhanced web site security, including online business cost savings.

According to NetBambino, by applying the influence of one industry-standard, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Certificate with up to 256-bit encryption across as many as six Top Level Domains, web site managers can reduce costs while providing a unified security experience for online customers.

An SSL Certificate enables encryption of online transactions and communications. The 6-in-1 SSL Certificate from NetBambino.com, offers a new level of simple, cost-effective security service. With many businesses, purchasing all six variations of their domain name to protect their online identity, NetBambino.com’s new 6-in-1 certificate provides a one-step, cost-saving solution.

Customers can purchase one SSL Certificate to protect all six Top Level Domains (TLDs) including .com, .net, .biz, .info, .us and .org. Until now, separate certificates would have to be purchased to protect each domain name. Each domain name secured under the new 6-in-1 SSL must point to the same web site. Before this product was available, web site managers would have to purchase either an SSL Certificate for a single TLD or buy as many as six — creating the potential for security warnings in customers’ web browsers or high costs for multiple certificates. With this new 6-in-1 SSL Certificate, e-businesses can save up to 54 percent over the cost of purchasing individual certificates.

NetBambino.com is an online registrar that offers Secure SSL Certificates, domain name registrations, domain transfers, email accounts, website building tools, web hosting, web marketing services, and merchant accounts, among other products.

For more information about the new 6-in1 SSL Certificates, please visit: www.NetBambino.com.

Houston, Texas - (The Hosting News) - August 17, 2007 - Privately held dedicated web hosting company, The Planet, has reported that it has begun preparations for the upcoming holiday rush, with four promotions targeted toward online e-commerce retailers.

Steve Kahan, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management at The Planet remarked, ”Each year holiday sales hit epic records, and we expect these numbers to once again exceed the 2006 record of $26 billion. The competition for fast and uninterrupted service has never been higher. Customers expect a better, faster and more seamless experience every year. To be certain they’re prepared, we advise customers to plan now.”

With holiday sales again expected to set new records, and purchasing that begins in September, customers or prospects can be ready with additional servers and unlimited bandwidth to accommodate the seasonal spike.

A recent white paper published by Frost and Sullivan’s Stratecast Partners, How SMBs Can Increase eCommerce Revenue and Decrease IT Costs, recommends that online retailers accommodate customers with an IT infrastructure that guarantees each visitor with a seamless shopping experience. Among the specific suggestions are redundant and highly scalable web servers; physical and cyber security; and sufficient bandwidth to prevent access congestion and ensure rapid response times.

The Planet’s four promotions designed to provide required server and bandwidth, to ensure fast and reliable shopping experiences include:

• Ready-To-Go Servers: For customers looking to add servers quickly, The Planet offers Ready-To-Go servers in just one hour.

At no additional charge, customers can purchase twice the RAM, hard-drive space or bandwidth through the end of August or while supplies last: www.theplanet.com/double%2Ddown%2Dpromotion/
• Unmetered Bandwidth: Clogged bandwidth translates to a slow online shopping experience, so ensuring ample bandwidth connections is important to sustain customer satisfaction. For just $50 per month, The Planet’s customers gain unlimited access to a 10Mbps uplink from the company’s seven Tier-1 providers; for $250 per month, they gain a 20Mbps uplink: www.theplanet.com/unmetered%2Dbandwidth/
• Lowest Hosting Price on The Planet: In its commitment to making the holiday registers ring for e-tailers, The Planet offers a guarantee that it will beat competitor pricing by 10 percent simply by providing the competitor’s invoice. Even better, the offers comes with free set-up and one month of free service on a one-year contract: www.theplanet.com/best-price-promotion

The Planet’s network is designed without single points of failure, which means the network operates with full redundancy for its core routers and distribution switches. The company also offers carrier diversity, with connections to seven Tier-1 telecommunications providers. As a result, customers never face obstacles or suffer from poor peering connections, sub-optimal routing paths, or congested or oversold networks that limit the power, speed and availability of their sites.

• High level of network capacity and speed to deliver peak performance
• Instant scalability to handle even the largest spikes in network traffic
• Parallel, redundant, multi-tiered network routing and switching architecture to assure reliability and stability
