WebHostRanking.com Releases VPS, Dedicated & Cloud Hosting Providers

WebHostRanking.com is one of the best resources for web hosting reviews and information about related industry topics and opportunities. Started by industry professionals who have been involved in web hosting and related fields since the last 1990s, Web Host Ranking provides detailed, first-hand knowledge, experience, and help about topics ranging from creating a WordPress blog to dedicated server hosting and much more. The Web Host Ranking team is excited to announce the latest expansion of the site to include information and reviews on VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, dedicated servers, and cloud hosting services.

The Web Host Ranking website is updated several times a week with new How-to articles, web hosting reviews, awards, marketing tips, web host comparisons and more. Web hosting service providers can visit the Get Listed page and quickly learn what it takes to have their service reviewed on the Web Host Ranking site. Every review is unique and contains detailed information about the company and services they offer. There are many things, in addition to web hosting which involves creating and maintaining a successful web presence. Many web hosts provide all the basic tools for building a website but have very few products or services which will help the webmaster understand search engine optimization, website marketing, and how to analyze website traffic and statistics. Web Host Ranking is a one-stop place for webmasters to get help and information about each of these topics. Users can also compare hosts like BlueHost vs. DreamHost to find which provider will best meet his/her needs.

The new categories on Web Host Ranking provide a unique opportunity for service providers that specialize in cloud hosting, VPS hosting, or dedicated server hosting to receive free advertising. Each company can advertise through a company review, web hosting coupon offers, and can also provide other professional details through a web hosting interview with senior management or another designated staff member. Web Host Ranking is different from the other web hosting review sites out there because it takes the time to work directly with each web hosting service provider in an effort to represent the most accurate company information, current promo offers, and company values to the public. Web Host Ranking also allows individual users to review a specific host he/she has had experience with; but every comment is moderated to prevent spam and fake reviews from ever appearing on the site.

Nexcess Aims for PCI Certification

Provider of premium eCommerce hosting services, Nexcess, announced that its sustained PCI-compliant web hosting environment will become PCI certified in the near future. This relates directly to the ability of an eCommerce web site to accept credit card payments.

To provide PCI certified web hosting, organizations must meet 12 distinct requirements for compliance, which should then be certified and approved by a third party. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a governing standard for information security as it relates to the handling of consumer cardholder information for payments made using major credit, debit, prepaid, ATM, and POS cards.

“Anyone can say they are ‘PCI Compliant’, but very few folks take the next step to have this independently audited,” commented Nexcess President and CEO, Chris Wells. “We feel that this certification falls right in line with Nexcess’ foundation of providing our clients with unparalleled service and support. Now, more than ever, people want to know that their sensitive information is safe when they’re doing business online. We want to provide our valued clients with that added level of confidence and security.”

The Magento SIP’s provided by Nexcess offer secure, high performance and scalable hosting solutions for Magento eCommerce platforms. BrightLine conducted the Nexcess PCI DS audit, a trusted third party which also handled the company’s Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No 16 audit earlier in the year.

Nexcess is based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan and was founded in 2000. It has data centers in Dearborn and Southfield, Michigan. The company offers a variety of hosting services ranging from entry level packages to custom configurations for eCommerce businesses.

ElasticHosts Launches Services for the Less Tech Savvy

ElasticHosts, a London based web services provider, launched two hosted services to help less tech savvy businesses launch their websites on the cloud. The company is up against major players like Amazon and Rackspace.

The sites, Cloud Sites and Managed Cloud Servers are designed to make the process of mounting a website less complex by automating the process and by taking on the task of managing servers. It functions like a platform- as- a -service for simple websites made up of HTML and PHP. Managed Cloud Servers gives companies rent-able computers whose infrastructure is handled by ElasticHosts.

Cloud Sites “is a clustered and distributed runtime environment… for running MySQL databases and PHP scripts”, Richard Davies, chief executive of ElasticHosts, told ZDNet UK. “We allow them to upload their pages, their databases, their files into that. The Cloud Sites project is the next generation of conditional shared hosting.” “The service is designed for basic sites built around a standard LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), potentially running simple e-commerce or blogging applications such as WordPress”, he said.

Managed Cloud Servers service is based on “identical technology” to ElasticHosts’s existing servers, but comes with more support in the package, according to Davies. “What we found over time was that more and more of our customers were coming to us and saying, “We’d just like a bit of help to get us set up,” he said.

ElasticHosts is targeting its products at small businesses that may not have the technical expertise or the time to get to grips with Amazon Web Service’s sprawling set of technologies.

“We’ve tried to build something which is much simpler and more easy to use, and starts from a user experience that shows flexibility,” Davies said.

The company has hardware in five data centers, two in the U.K in Maidenhead and Portsmouth, and the remaining in Los Angeles, Toronto and San Antonio. It utilizes AMD chips in Supermicro servers with Cisco networking.
