AISO.net adds Two Factor Authentication to hosting control panel
Posted by Steven Craig on 11 April 2013 01:43 PM

(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) April 11, 2013 - AISO.net, the world's most responsible, green web hosting company, announced today it has enabled TOTP OATH Token two-factor authentication within its hosting control panel which works with mobile apps such as OATH Token and Google Authenticator.

Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security by adding a second step to your login. It takes something you know (ie. your password) and adds a second factor, typically something you have (such as your phone.) Since both are required to log in, even if an attacker has your password they can't access your account.

Passwords are increasingly easy to compromise. They can often be guessed or leaked, they usually don't change very often, and despite advice otherwise, many have favorite passwords that are used for more than one thing. So Two-factor authentication gives you additional security because your password alone no longer allows access to your account.

In addition to your regular e-mail address and password, you will have to enter a 6 digit code that changes every 30 seconds. Only your token device (your mobile smartphone) will know your secret key, and be able to generate valid one time passwords for your account. And so your account is far safer.

To enable this feature, click on Update your details on the home page or click on your name in the top menu and Edit Account Details, then click the Change Security Settings tab.

(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) October 12, 2012 - AISO.net, the world's most responsible, green web hosting company, announced today the deploying of a Web Site Optimization, Caching & Acceleration system for its shared hosting customers.

By using server side software to implement web performance best practices, web page resources are rewritten to automatically optimize their content. It improves performance for JavaScript, HTML and CSS, as well as JPEG and PNG images. Then for the most busiest sites we then cache static and dynamic objects in RAM for even faster loading times.

"Who on the Internet wouldn't want a faster website?" stated Phil Nail, CTO of AISO. "The benefits of the object optimization and caching are really a slam dunk for our customers. It's built to boost users' web performance, and ultimately, the bottom line for their business."

Some AISO customers detected a 48% decrease, slicing the load time for image-rich websites from 15 to 7 seconds. This also helps the first visit to the site by reducing the payload size and improving compression. Repeat visits are accelerated by making caching more efficient and decreasing the size of resources such as CSS and HTML.

Posted by Steven Craig on 06 August 2012 12:25 PM
(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) April 20, 2012 - AISO.net, the world's most responsible, green web hosting company, announced today the deploying of a network wide IP Reputation-based cloud service that blocks malware related traffic to and from our network.

The real-time IP Reputation Service automatically delivers block lists against criminal malware (botnets, Trojans, backdoors, worms, etc.) to protect our network and servers against the most serious information security problem today. At AISO.net we understand just how crucial your data is and your online presence is the lifeblood of your business, you need to be sure it's safe and secure.

"We looked around for a IP Reputation Service that offers great protection for our customers and their mission-critical services, and ThreatSTOP clearly is the solution for us," said Phil Nail, CTO of AISO.net. "ThreatSTOP protects our HIPPA-compliant customers in the healthcare industry from the worst of the botnets and malware out there bombarding just about everyone on the Internet 7 x 24."

To help protect our customers even further, we have decided to deploy ThreatSTOP, a leading online security solution protecting countless businesses from malware attacks, across the entire AISO.net network. Whether you're using our shared web hosting services, co-location, dedicated servers or you've got VPS's in our cloud running your business - whatever AISO.net plan you have, you are covered by our new security upgrades.

Online security concerns
Arguably the most serious and widespread online security problems faced by organizations today are botnet, backdoors, worm and other malware attacks. The threats affect everyone on the Internet, which is most people and definitely all businesses! Organized criminal organizations use malware to steal highly sensitive and valuable data. Cyber-criminals are often more sophisticated than their victims and they certainly capitalize on this advantage.

How AISO.net is protecting your online data
The newest piece of arsenal in our security infrastructure is ThreatSTOP, an IP reputation based service that protects networks from criminal malware attacks. What it does is enables firewalls to block both inbound and outbound traffic, preventing the theft of valuable data. ThreatSTOP lets firewalls know about threats in real-time and allows networks to automatically stop any incoming or outgoing traffic from known malware sites. It's a cloud based system that prevents theft by making sure there are no firewall or network holes where malicious malware can slip through undetected.

In layman's terms: we're stopping the bad guys in their tracks.

AISO.net Announces SolarCloud VPS Hosting
Posted by Steven Craig on 22 June 2011 10:13 AM

(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) June 6, 2011 - AISO.net, the world’s most responsible, green web hosting company, announces their SolarCloud VPS Hosting, cloud based servers powered by on-site solar energy. This service comes from a proven pioneer in green hosting solutions powered by sun, water and air; along with being dedicated to service, value and sustainability.  

Sustainability considerations aside, AISO's SolarCloud solution allows for the kind of flexibility and ease of use required in today's rapidly evolving world of IT.  Make a new server for web site staging and four new servers for web site production. Delete one and create two more. You manage it all from a simple, easy to use interface!  And it's all backed by strong customer service.

Traditional web hosting involves an environment where resources, such as RAM, Disk Space and Bandwidth are fixed and absolute. If you have a physical, dedicated or co-located server and the popularity of your web application increases, you'll need to upgrade or add hardware. With a traditional server, that involves down time and data center staff who physically have to upgrade your servers. SolarCloud VPS servers are different because resources can be upgraded and downgraded on the fly. Scaling your server is now simpler than ever; you can add RAM, CPU, Disk Space and Bandwidth, with just a few clicks.
