It’s the moment you try with all you have to avoid, but there’s absolutely nothing you can do: your shared hosting website has gone dark due to a hosting provider outage. Although you can research companies for months in order to find the one with the least amount of outages, you’ll never find one with 100% uptime guarantees. It’s just not possible (and if you find one, stay away! They are lying to you!).

We’ve discussed the benefits of cloud hosting here at Ananova many times. There are times where the cloud does not work out, such as like Eric Frenkiel, founder and CEO of MemSQL. And you can’t say the man didn’t give it the old college try.

Amazon averages sales of $117,882 per minute. I’ll let you think about that number for a second. That’s a good deal of cash, so it might not have mattered much that Amazon recently lost around $4.72 million when Amazon’s site went down for 40 minutes this past Monday. But for companies that aren’t as big as Amazon, 40 minutes offline is a big deal.

A lot of small businesses are looking to the cloud to save money and time. However, deciding which files to send to the cloud isn’t as cut and dry as it seems. There’s a lot more to cloud storage than just moving items around to and from the cloud. There are legal, and other, things to think about too.

Your company has decided to move its data to the cloud. Great! You know you want to go hybrid, and you aren’t alone: recent surveys indicate almost all enterprises plan to go with a hybrid cloud solution at some point. Although they want in on the cloud, very few of them have actually come up with a specific strategy, and fewer still have actually deployed a hybrid cloud hosting solution.

There’s no doubt about it: the cloud is here, and will only get bigger. A recent report by Morgan Stanley confirms this: AWS revenue is expected to hit $24 billion by 2023. It stands to reason that other cloud computing companies will see similar growth. However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.

In case you missed our earlier story regarding the shutdown of hidden sites hosted by the anonymous and cheap hosting company Freedom Hosting, here’s the background: malicious Javascript code was found to be embedded in many of the sites hosted by Freedom Hosting, relying on the Tor network that keeps users’ identities completely anonymous.
Tor User? Here’s What you Need to Know.
We brought you the story of the hidden websites hosting abusive child pornography disappearing from Tor earlier this week, and the problems with Tor’s email hosting. It’s odd, as Tor was designed to allow users to fly under the radar, keeping their identities a secret and allowing them to post questionable content without fear.

Eric Eoin Marques, arrested on a warrant issued from United States authorities on online child pornography charges, was called “the largest facilitator of child porn on the planet” by the FBI. He was a resident of Dublin, Ireland, and operated hidden services hosted by the hosting company he founded, Freedom Hosting, to host the highly illegal material.
Someone’s Using Your Network: Quick Fixes
We all know that securing a network is really important. Whether at home or at work, any network you use should be entirely secure inside and out. But, sometimes, no matter what we try to do, networks can become compromised. This becomes a really big deal when the person using your network is doing something illegal – it could be traced back to you.
