Godaddy launches Godaddy pro program for web developers & designers




GoDaddy announced the launch of the GoDaddy Pro Program for web developers and designers with automated tools to manage and monitor their customers’  accounts. For many small businesses in India, buying a domain name, setting up a website and selling online is perceived to be complex and something that requires ‘professional’ help, making India largely a ‘do-it-for-me’ country. Confirming this trend is a recent survey released by RedShift Research and GoDaddy, according to which at least 30 percent of the small businesses in India are looking for an Internet company to build and manage their website for them, and another 24 percent are looking for help from a professional web designer.


“As the next wave of small businesses in India prepares to come online, they will rely heavily on web designers and developers to help them create their digital presence. At GoDaddy, we are committed to helping web professionals and their customers succeed online,” said Jeff King, GoDaddy Senior Vice President Hosting. “The GoDaddy Pro Program is designed with the objective of easing the work flow for web designers and developers, and helping them build and manage their client’s websites better.”


The GoDaddy Pro Program is a one-stop shop, offering client management tools, advanced support, and other features to help web developers and designers more easily manage their client’s accounts.
“We use our GoDaddy Pro account to manage all our clients and their products. The unique Client Product Dashboard lets us monitor and keep track of all our clients and their products at a glance,” said Aalap Bharucha, Founder of Shades of Web. “The monitoring feature in the dashboard is good and effective, and is our favourite must-have feature. It gives us peace of mind to know that we will be automatically alerted if a client’s website goes down or if any other issue needs escalation.” Mr. Bharucha added, “Another feature which we find extremely useful is the customer website analytics that helps us optimize our clients’ websites for a more powerful experience – both on the mobile and on the desktop.”

How to Remove Computer Virus Without Antivirus Program. Software System Restore




Part of my Virus Removal Series and one of many ways to get your computer back! Use the links below to access the playlist which I will add all new computer virus removal videos to as I make them.



What Is Software Engineering Anyway





Hardware Security Protects What Software Can’t

NEW YORK – With advanced malware rendering antivirus  software essentially useless, and cloud networks like Gmail putting all of your data eggs in one basket, how can you trust remote servers to keep your info safe? According to Stephen Hanna of Juniper Networks, the answer involves switching from security software to security hardware.

Speaking at the New York Institute of Technology cyber security conference last Wednesday, Hanna detailed how only dedicated security chips can provide the security, and security verification, needed to make cloud computing safe and reliable.

“[With cloud computing], it becomes all the more important to have confidence in the security of those systems. Otherwise, malware can insert itself, and the service on which you are depending becomes unreliable,” Hanna told TechNewsdDaily.

“With Gmail, you don’t really know where or how it’s running. You just have to trust that it’s secure. Having hardware security can give you greater confidence in that.”

Unlike security software, which runs on vulnerable multipurpose equipment, hardware security devices are designed for only one purpose. Since these security chips only run a few clearly delineated programs, there’s nowhere for malware to hide, Hanna said.
Not only do these chips protect themselves by shutting down if they detect any activity outside of their original programming, but some, like Trusted Computing Group’s TPM module, even respond to physical stimuli. If the chip senses any drastic changes in electricity flow, fluctuations in temperature or breaches of its physical casing, it erases all of its sensitive data. General purpose hard drives simply can’t match that level of security, Hana said.

“There are so many ways to get your machine infected, and when you move from software to hardware, you take care of the ability of all those viruses to get your security keys,” Hanna said. “Of course, someone could still steal your computer, take it to a lab, and crack it that way, but that’s a spy scenario that’s not likely.”
Most importantly from a trust standpoint, a user can check whether or not a cloud computer uses these security hardware devices. Each hardware security device comes with a digital certificate that is almost impossible to fake, Hanna said. By checking for that digital certificate, a user can rest assured that their data is safe, even if they can’t physically check the computer it’s on.

Thanks to those advantages, security hardware has become a focus of some of the largest computer companies in the world. Last month, chip-giant Intel bought the antivirus company McAfee, a move that signals how interested the market is in this new technology.

This is not to say that hardware security devices are impregnable. In February, computer engineer Christopher Tarnovsky successfully defeated the security on the TPM module. However, Tarnovsky needed far more time and resources to defeat the hardware than he needed to breach even the tightest software security.

This proves that while not perfect, hardware security at least improves upon software enough to inspire confidence.
