Web Host Fights Unemployment

2012-02-06T03:52:00-05:00

(Gawkwire) - The state of the economy has been an ongoing hot topic in the news just about every single day for the past year. This doesn’t look like it is going to change with the increasing number of conflicting un-employment reports and 2012 being an election year. While some reports are stating that un-employment is down and jobs are up, others are stating that the actual un-employment numbers are being skewed to either prop up or bring down different views and opinions. So, with a slew of information, how is one supposed to get an accurate view of what is going on? Bottom line is the numbers don’t matter that much to the actually individuals involved. More than likely the average employee doesn’t necessarily care if it’s 150,000 jobs or 200,000 jobs that were created, they more worried about their job. For the unfortunate soul who finds themselves unemployed, they could care less if the un-employment rate is 8% or 11%, they only care about becoming employed. One internet company seems to understand this and has developed a solution for it.

Advanced Internet Technologies (AIT), a leading web-hosting company since 1996, has long taken a different approach to the market versus their competitors. “Most web-hosting companies market towards and develop products for the customer that wants to buy one website. At AIT, we provide solutions to individuals who are going to start their own internet business. We’re essentially their private labeled technology partner, and want the individual who is going to go out and sell the products we provide under their own brand name. Because many of our services are free, their mark up goes directly to their bottom line. We’ve built thousands of web hosting resellers, and since we started this model in 1997, nobody has done it like us.” says Roberto Blake, Marketing Manager at AIT. “Our business model’s success is directly attributable to the hard work of those resellers. We’ve empowered them with the products, but they are the ones making it happen.”

AIT’s focus and commitment to the small business owner/reseller seems to stem from its own background. The company was started under much of the same model, reselling products from a garage and gradually growing into the multi-million dollar company that it is today. Rather than looking for someone to work for and fretting about un-employment, the CEO Clarence Briggs, took the bull by the horns and started his own business. “While the worry about not being able to get a job or support myself and my family was in the back of mind, I decided that I stood a much better chance of making it if I controlled my own future versus counting on a large company to hire or fire me.” explains Clarence Briggs.

When asked why AIT chose to forge a different business model then most of their competitors, Clarence, who never passes up and opportunity to teach someone, explains “We learned quickly that a company that has a private labeled service that can be sold in a recurring revenue model is very powerful. I built my company to help others to achieve similar goals through that same model. In the long run this helps create partnerships with resellers which allow all parties involved to profit.”

AIT is also unique in the sense that they have built tools, products and systems to not only allow the business to get started, but to encourage ingenuity through their partnership program. While a lot of companies advertise similar programs, they almost always fall within a strict set of guidelines or steps. For example, if you sell x amount of products or refer y amount of new customers, you get z amount of money in return. AIT took that step farther and decided to break out of the pre-set molds and boundaries and listen to their customers.AIT’s Reseller Program allows the reseller to create an enterprise by finding his or her own niche. The market for that reseller could be a geographic area, such as the city or town in which they live, or a vertical market where they have influence such as the fashion industry. This program allows the reseller to own the customer interaction, and provide the value added service that other technology companies may not be able to.

When asked to elaborate on the details, VP of Sales and Marketing Richard Kirby smiled, “It really isn’t that technical. Not a lot of details at all. We understand that our customers know the local market and their particular skill sets better than we do. For example, one of our California customers probably knows what people need a website to look like better for that area better than we do here in North Carolina. They, as the business owner, also know their own personnel strengths and weaknesses. Our solution is to give our California customer the tools to use this knowledge and grow their business. This in turn grows our business. If one of our customers has an idea, we encourage them to call so that we can discuss it. It’s not just up to the big companies to dictate what should or shouldn’t be done in the industry. Innovation starts from the ground up; we understand that and embrace it.”

HostGator Partners with BaseKit

2012-02-06T23:17:00-05:00

(Gawkwire) - BaseKit, the online website builder, has been launched by HostGator; enabling their SMB's to build and manage their own website with the state of the art technology. The hosting giant, based in Houston, Texas, is offering BaseKit to both new and existing customers.

As one of the fastest growing private companies in America, HostGator is always seeking innovative products and services to enrich its customers' experiences and surpass their expectations. BaseKit has received international acclaim as an all-in-one website builder that lets SMB's build a site that "looks as good as most commercial sites" (The Sunday Times, 23 Oct 2011), so it's therefore no surprise that both companies are working together to make high-quality website creation as easy as possible for small businesses around the world.

According to Brent Oxley (Founder and Chairman at HostGator.com) the decision to offer an advanced but easy to use website builder was based on the company's regular engagements with its customer-base:

"We have spent a long time researching numerous site builders and talking with our clients about what they needed in a website builder. We received a lot of insight from our community and they asked for an easy to use site builder, with the ability to handle the more advanced aspects such as widgets, popular apps and full css/html control."

All of HostGator's 7 Million+ domains will be able to access BaseKit from within the company's control panel. Brent Oxley continues:

"We needed a site builder that both the most novice and most experienced users could find fit their needs perfectly. We found BaseKit to be exactly what we were looking for. The site builder is extremely easy to use for everyone that wants to build their own website, yet it has the advanced features to cater for our more advanced users and designers."

The plan to roll out BaseKit to HostGator brands in other countries is still in progress, but can be expected very soon.

BaseKit's CEO Juan Lobato analyses the partnership from a strategic point of view:

"The timing of the partnership with HostGator was perfect for us. Although we've been busy focusing on the BaseKit roll-out in Latin America and EMEA countries, we were always on the lookout for a strong partner in the US too. HostGator gives us customer volume and brand recognition that is an excellent starting point for both future partnerships and our presence in the US. Both teams have done a stellar job on the smooth and quick integration of the BaseKit product onto HostGator's infrastructure. I am sure that a true partnership like this will result in commercial success."

About BaseKit

BaseKit was founded in 2008 and has become one of the world's leading website builders. The BaseKit editor is available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Turkish and Portuguese.

The company now has over 60 employees, with offices in London, Bristol, Barcelona and Sao Paulo. It aims to help small businesses and web designers create beautiful websites quickly and easily.

BaseKit won Seedcamp in 2008 and has subsequently received investment from Eden Ventures, NESTA and Nauta Capital.

About HostGator

HostGator.com LLC is a world leading and industry recognized hosting provider with more than 12,000 servers under management. The over 7 million domains hosted by HostGator make up approximately 1% of the world's Internet traffic.

HostGator serves customers ranging from individual freelancers to Fortune 500 companies in more than 200 countries. Customers range from complete novices to computer and technology experts.

Attenda Embraces Cloud Security

2012-02-02T23:39:00-05:00

(Gawkwire) - Attenda, the Business Critical IT Company, today announced its cloud security strategy, which is to play a key role in the delivery of innovative and market leading cloud services to clients, supported with the appointment of a new Director of Security.

Despite the clear economic benefits of using cloud services, concerns about security, compliance and data privacy have slowed down enterprise adoption. In most recent surveys for Cloud services, security remains the number one issue. The key security concerns from customers’ viewpoint are around security defects in the technology itself, unauthorized access to customer information, encryption, application security, identity management, and virtualization security.

As Mark Fowle, CEO, Attenda explains, “Responsibility for security will depend upon the cloud offering and provider. For Infrastructure as a Service, typically vendor responsibility is around physical, environmental, and virtualization security; but every other aspect of security in applications, operating system and so on still needs to be handled. It is essential to carry out proper due diligence with your cloud providers, ensuring that you ask the right questions and you really understand their service level agreement, to select the right provider, based on your requirements and risk appetite.”

Attenda places security at the forefront of its critical applications hosting and cloud services; supported by ISO 9001 Quality Management, ISO 20000 Service Management and ISO 27001 Information Security accreditations, together with numerous other industry and vendor certifications. It is helping its clients to transition to business-centric cloud computing, building upon its pedigree in highly secure, highly available and high performance critical applications managed services, providing enterprise class security and data privacy, with security policies and processes that embrace governance, compliance and audit, information lifecycle management and operational security. Additionally, for applications with specific compliance requirements, such as ecommerce applications, Attenda supports its clients through its own PCI DSS audits and additional services to assist with their compliance requirements.

He adds, “During 2012 we will be working toward introducing new capabilities and offerings that will drive us closer to the goal of providing a suite of modular security services that address the full spectrum of cloud services from simple self-managed virtual machines and single solution cloud services through to multiple clouds from different providers with the capability to manage security policies and processes across multiple operators, each with different infrastructures, operational policies and security skills, to alleviate security concerns in cloud and hybrid hosting environments.”

To reinforce Attenda’s Security Strategy, Matt Gordon-Smith has been appointed as Attenda’s Director of Security, with responsibility for all areas of security within the business, from its data centres, to the standards built into Attenda’s platforms, services and client solutions. Matt is a seasoned senior security leader with experience across many IT managed services and outsourcing companies including IBM, Siemens, Verizon Business and Savvis. Matt has experience in many different facets of security, across various industry sectors and working closely with clients to address their individual security needs.

Commenting on the appointment, CEO of Attenda, Mark Fowle, said: “We are delighted to welcome Matt to his new role, and regard his appointment as a vital addition to our Leadership Team. Matt joins at an exciting phase for the organisation, as we aim to boost our capabilities to ensure we continue to deliver services that make a real difference to our clients’. He brings huge experience and industry know-how which will play a key role in the future growth of Attenda.”

The new appointment comes at a time of continued growth for the organisation and means that Attenda is well placed to continue to expand its range of services; in August 2011, Darwin Private Equity completed the management buyout of Attenda. Since it was established in 1997 Attenda has grown to over 200 staff and has a strong track record of year on year revenue growth - compound growth of 16% over the last 5 years.

About Attenda Limited
