My Child’s Locket’s number one goal is to make children’s important, personal information readily available to parents in the event of an emergency.
The wheels of the business plan were put in motion when Jay Osterholt witnessed his sister and nephew in crisis while on vacation. Away from home, Mr. Osterholt’s sister was ill prepared to answer all the Doctor’s questions accurately and thoroughly. Convinced there was a better way to handle these situations, Mr. Osterholt wanted to help ensure this didn’t have to happen again to his family or others.
Less than two years later, the web-based service is live and empowering parents to access and share critical information about their little ones 24/7/365. My Child’s Locket can accommodate multi-child households and has the capacity to store numerous, important details about each individual.
As a web based service, My Child’s Locket is susceptible to bad things like identity theft schemes, SQL injections, XSS (cross site scripting) and DDoS attacks, and more. Aware of the risks, Mr. Osterholt made finding the right secure, hosting partner a big priority. After a thorough search, he chose us.

When powered by virtualization, our secure website hosting techniques do more than just help keep the “bad guys” out of your website and web-based applications. In fact, we affectionately regard virtualization as the “socially responsible” hosting technology.
Our virtualized servers provide secure, scalable hosting solutions to small and medium sized businesses around the globe. Thru the use of new, green hosting technologies, we’re helping reduce e-waste: energy consumption, CO2 emissions, hardware waste, and more.

Ahh February… Love is in the air. Our servers are in the cloud. But do we love our servers in the cloud?
Cloud computing and cloud hosting practices have been around for some time, probably longer than you think. Long enough, in fact, to gain significant awareness and pique the interest of anyone starting, or growing a business. “I must have everything ‘in the cloud’” these entrepreneurs say! While the definition and clear-cut use case for cloud hosting remains elusive, the promise of cost savings, “fair” usage based billing, and unlimited scalability has startups love struck.
