News: GoDaddy Web Hosting Provider, Chosen by Tipping Point, for SSL
Scottsdale, Arizona - (Website Hosting Directory) - April 28, 2008 - Web hosting domain registrar, Go Daddy, has been selected by intrusion prevention company,TippingPoint, for its SSL Certificate solution.
The new agreement underscores each company's commitment to safeguarding data and combating cyber crime through the implementation of the most stringent security standards.
An SSL Certificate, which enables a browser and server to establish a secure, encrypted connection, is the de facto standard for protecting sensitive information from identity theft, hacking and tampering. Businesses, for example, rely on SSL Certificates to thwart hackers from accessing credit card information during online transactions.
James Hamilton, President at TippingPoint noted, ''Both TippingPoint and GoDaddy.com know network security is of paramount importance. The combination of product, price and service made GoDaddy.com SSL Certificates an obvious choice for our networks.''
GoDaddy.com has seen its SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) business jump a dramatic 83 percent in the last 16 months. The company, which first started providing the secure certificates in March 2004, is the world's second largest Certification Authority, according to Netcraft, Ltd.
Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder of GoDaddy.com noted, ''GoDaddy.com's SSL Certs provide IT administrators an easy and cost effective way to protect their networks. It just makes sense for a company as committed to online security as TippingPoint to recognize the advantage - our customers get the same functionality, stringent vetting standards and reliability as any other cert in the industry. The difference is GoDaddy.com SSL certs cost a fraction of the price.''
GoDaddy.com offers SSL Certificates with three assurance validation levels: Standard, Deluxe and Premium with Extended Validation. All Go Daddy certificates offer up to 256-bit encryption and are backed with 24/7 customer support.

News: Search Engine, hakia.com, Releases Upgraded Online Health Solution
New York, New York - (Website Hosting Directory) - April 28, 2008 - Search engine, hakia, has reported that it has released an update to its BETA site, designed to assist users searching for the most credible and fresh health content on the web.
Users will start to get credibility-stamped search results in full view, instead of just popularity-ranked results. Health related searches on the Web are always important, and can even be a matter of life and death. More than 100 million people search online for health-related information. Not surprisingly, a staggering 30 percent of searchers have concerns about the quality of the information, according to information released by Forrester Research.
Today's general search engines, however, are designed to yield only the most popular results. This presents web searchers with a single viewpoint, which may include outdated, irrelevant or potentially misleading information. Now, hakia.com offers a different worldview, by providing credible and fresh health information online.
To ensure credibility, hakia is providing results from sources that have met the quality criteria set forth by the Medical Library Association. hakia's users can now trust what they find, because experts have vetted the sources.
Dr. Riza C. Berkan, CEO of hakia noted, ''Not all Web searches end when the first piece of information is found. You also need to know if the information provider is credible. hakia will now eliminate this extra burden by ensuring the credibility of the sources in all top search results.''
The hakia health search difference: For example, for a query such as ''What are the benefits of aspirin,'' hakia provides: -- Credibility - To make its determinations, hakia used the Medical Library Association's list of quality health web sites. (A full list of these credible websites can be found below). These are clearly marked and displayed at the top of search results page. -- Freshness - The top hakia search results list news, if available, and the most up-to-date information -- Relevancy - hakia is committed to providing quality search results via semantic technology
Founded in 2004, hakia developed its first meaning-based search engine, utilizing a new infrastructure, designed to deliver the most relevant search results. The company is privately held and based in New York City.

News: Website Design for Toyota, Includes Behavioral Engineering
Beverly, Massachusetts - (Website Hosting Directory) - April 25, 2008 - Website design, vehicle inventory management, marketing and intelligence solution provider, DataOne/XIGroup, has launched a new behavioral marketing platform and web site redesign, for Acton Toyota Scion's website.
Matt Lamoureux, Director of marketing and e-commerce for Acton Toyota noted, ''Last year, Auto Dealer Monthly recognized ActonToyota.com as the #1 rated dealer site in the country. Our goal with the redesign was to provide an even more enriched shopping experience for consumers. DataOne/XIGroup and their web site design team delivered exactly that. I couldn't be any more satisfied with the results.''
The ActonToyota.com redesign includes enhancements in search engine optimization, visual presentation and a new community page with a scrolling photo gallery. The new elements have been built on top of an advanced behavioral marketing technology that automatically matches content to a visitor's vehicle interest. The site, which went live earlier this month, is already generating significant increases in visits, return visits and page views.
Joe High, general manager of DataOne/XIGroup remarked, ''Acton Toyota Scion is an industry leader in Internet marketing. This new site not only reflects their commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction and maintaining a competitive edge, it sets new benchmarks in dealership web site design.''
The new web site platform features behavioral engineering which enables site content such as photos, advertisements, inventory, specials and testimonials to change dynamically based on user interest. For example, when a consumer Googles ''Tundras Acton'' and clicks on the www.actontoyota.com listing, the website's home page will appear already populated with enriched Tundra content to help consumers more easily find the information they are looking for.
Visitor behavioral profiles remain active for up to 30 days. Whenever the consumer returns to the site, the previous vehicle/consumer matched content is shown. The content also updates when the buyer finds new vehicles of interest while navigating through the site.
Mr. Lamoureux added, ''We're getting the right messages to the right customers at the right times. It's a better shopping experience for the buyer that's also resulting in an increased volume of leads for the dealership.''
DataOne/XIGroup has also eliminated the need for iFrames, making all content on the site search engine friendly. IFrames are HTML documents embedded into a Web site from a remote external source, such as vehicle data from an OEM site. Data contained in an iFrame cannot be read by search engines. As a result, if a buyer searches for a particular car, and the dealer only has information about that vehicle in an iFrame, the dealership won't appear on the search results. By turning imported iFrame content into organic site content, it can be read and indexed by search engines, which makes the site more accessible to consumers and drives more traffic to the dealership.
Another enhancement is a new and simpler Quick Quote form that makes submissions fast and easy. After the form has been submitted, an automated response is generated letting the consumer know that their request has been received, appreciated and will be well handled in a timely manner.
Acton Toyota Scion, is an independently owned dealership located in Acton, Massachusetts. For 17 consecutive years the company has won Toyota Motor Sales prestigious President's Award for excellence in sales performance and customer service. The company is ranked #40 on Ward's e-Dealer 100 list.
DataOne/XIGroup, a division of Dominion Enterprises, specializes in search-engine friendly web site designs, and inventory management and promotion tools for franchise and independent automotive dealers nationwide. The company has built a strong reputation for rapid software development and deployment. With over ten years of experience and industry-leading customer service, DataOne/XIGroup is uniquely qualified to help dealers stay ahead of an increasingly digital automotive marketplace.
