Hostway Newsletter

It’s easy to be thankful for technology, especially email. The more we depend on email, the more important it is to keep it secure and to make sure it reaches its destination. Thank goodness there are some tried and true ways, such as Hostway’s GigaMail, to make sure your email won’t get compromised and large attachments won’t be bounced.

Email Security Tips

With email leading the way for business and personal communications, email security is a top priority. Not only does the average email user have to worry about SPAM and viruses, there are also serious risks from hackers and other cyber hoodlums. Protecting your online identity can be a challenge, but these tips will help you stay secure. More...

Merchant Manager Updates

With the holiday season fast approaching, now is the perfect time to make last minute enhancements to your online store. The latest version of Merchant Manager includes a complete revamp of the product manager, giving you the option to add multiple products at one time, track inventory levels by attribute and more. Per product, you can now accept cash payment at delivery and completely customize your “Contact Us” page to offer different shipment levels (for example ground, priority and overnight) and much more. All updates are based directly from the customer feedback functionality. Keep the comments coming and we’ll keep improving it!

Smart Tip: Strengthen Your Password's Power

One of the most effective ways to keep your online accounts secure is to devise a complicated password that includes both numbers and letters. Try to use different passwords for different functions. This makes it less likely that if someone hacks into one of your accounts, such as your email, they’ll be able to then compromise your other online accounts. When you think up a password, avoid the following easily guessed choices:

Your name
Your address
Your birth date

While it can be a chore to remember different passwords, they really are your first defense in online security, making them more than worth the effort.

Kudos to Hostway
Brenda Guyton

“I’m a pretty good artist, but only an amateur Web master. I’ve had two small sites for arts organizations at Hostway for about three years. One of the sites I had to wrestle away from another hosting company that was charging three times as much as Hostway for fewer services. Hostway’s prices are great and their support has been phenomenal. They respond as fast and as courteously as if I were a big corporate client, even when my question shows my ignorance about web stuff. When people ask me about where to get Web hosting, you know where I send them. Kudos to Hostway.”
