Many businesses risk jeopardising the health of their IT systems by using pirated web hosting software, it has been reported.
A study conducted by .net magazine indicates that 59 per cent of IT professionals have used illegal programme copies during the course of their working lives.
However, Dan Oliver, editor of the publication, said this can prove to be a false economy if the technology problems start mounting up for users.
"With tight deadlines, and tighter budgets, it's understandable - though clearly not recommended - to hear of people being asked to use pirated software," he stated.
"It's unrealistic to put the onus on employees, the message needs to get through to employers."
Last month, the Direct Marketing Association warned web-based businesses and email marketing providers in particular to ensure they take all necessary IT security provisions.
The organisation said the protection of consumer information should be treated as a priority at all times.

Skali Sees 20 Per Cent Growth In Web Hosting Revenue
Skali Group, an e- Business specialist, expects a 20 per cent growth in web hosting revenue with the launch of new web hosting brand EmbunWeb.com on Wednesday.
Skali President and Co-founder Aimi Aizal Nasharuddin said EmbunWeb was poised to attract more local small and medium entrepreneurs to craft larger presence in the market as well as strengthen marketing strategy.
"EmbunWeb can provide opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn more about information technology and marketing strategies especially among Bumiputera entrepreneurs," he told reporters after the launch ceremony here.
He said the new web hosting product was expected to be the main driver for the growth of the company's core business especially with the rising number of entrepreneurs using the internet as their business platform.
Last year, Skali recorded RM4.6 million in revenue from the web hosting business and experienced about 10 per cent growth.
Presently, web hosting accounted for 20 to 30 per cent of the company's total revenue, Aimi said.
He expected the new web hosting product to register 4,000 domains by year-end.
Beside EmbunWeb, the company planned to launch one or two other products this year, Aimi said.

CrystalTech Releases ColdFusion 9 Web Hosting Plans
CrystalTech Web Hosting — the web hosting division of Newtek Technology Services, a Newtek Business Services, Inc. company (NASDAQ: NEWT), today announced the release of Adobe® ColdFusion® 9 hosting plans. CrystalTech hosts more than 100,000 domain names and serves web developers and small businesses in more than 100 countries around the world.
As one of the first Adobe sanctioned web hosts to offer ColdFusion 9 beta hosting last summer, CrystalTech has been working closely with developers and reliably hosting live ColdFusion 9 sites for more than six months in preparation for today’s launch.
“When ColdFusion 9 beta first became available last year, we jumped at the chance to offer hosting plans for it, just as we have with previous versions of the framework,” said CrystalTech President Bob Cichon. “More importantly, we wanted our own ColdFusion development community to have ample time to stress test their applications so we could move forward knowing that our offering will be among the most reliable and highest performing on the market.”
ColdFusion 9 enables developers to rapidly build web applications by condensing complex business logic into fewer lines of code. The software also features enhanced integration with the Adobe Flash Platform and tight integration with Adobe’s first ever ColdFusion IDE, ColdFusion Builder.
“We’ve fiercely supported the ColdFusion community since the days of ColdFusion 4.0 more than a decade ago,” added Cichon. “With several notable improvements in the new version, we’re thrilled at the chance to provide a home for the next generation of ColdFusion applications.”
CrystalTech’s release includes three shared hosting plans running ColdFusion 9, Enterprise Edition, on Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft IIS7 servers, starting at $16.95 per month. For more information, please visit http://www.crystaltech.com/coldfusion9.aspx?=cfpr or call 1-877-323-4678.

US branded dirtiest web hosting nation
Sophos report warns that US hosters need to clean up their act Experts at security firm Sophos have branded the US as the "dirty man of the web world" after new research from the vendor identified the country as the top host of infected sites.
Over a third of the world's infected sites are hosted in the US, ahead of Russia with 12.8 per cent and China with 11.2 per cent, according to the Sophos Security Threat Report 2010 (PDF). The UK came tenth with 1.6 per cent.
The report covers malicious sites deliberately set up to lure victims with " promises of desirable or salacious content", and the more recent trend of infecting legitimate sites with malware via SQL injection or other attacks, said Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley.
"Webmasters need to take much better care of their sites, ensuring that they are securely coded and properly patched against hackers injecting malicious software into their pages," he wrote in a blog post.
"Meanwhile, all computer users should be protected by a security solution that scans every webpage visited, and every link clicked on, to see if it could contain dangerous content. You scan your email for viruses, and you should do the same for web sites."

Hostway Bundles Free Marketing Platforms Into Web Hosting Plans
In an effort to simplify life for small businesses, Hostway (News - Alert) recently bundled its Instant Business Broadcast, a service that submits a business profile to 10 of the most popular online directories plus Newsletter Broadcast, a “robust” e-mail marketing platform into its Web hosting plans.
The goal, as explained by Hostway’s John Lee, senior vice president of small business hosting, is to help SMBs attract new customers and keep them coming back.
“That’s why we’ve made Instant Business Broadcast and Newsletter Broadcast easy to use and free with our Web hosting plans,” Lee said. “Instant Business Broadcast attracts new customers by getting small businesses in front of more people when they’re searching online. Newsletter Broadcast lets a small business stay connected with its customers through newsletters and email marketing campaigns.”
Since 1998, Hostway has invested in building one of the “most advanced, industry-leading foundations” of Internet data centers around the world. By acquiring smaller companies and expanding its global footprint, Hostway now owns and operates 12 state-of-the-art data centers around the globe.
In a recent interview with Todd Benjamin (News - Alert), director of enterprise hosting at Hostway, he explained that cloud hosting solutions provide flexibility for businesses with less of an upfront capital outlay on hardware.
In fact, the cloud facilitates flexible integration of applications, anywhere delivery of services and significant cost savings, Benjamin said.
With Instant Business Broadcast, a customer enters his or her business information into one form. Hostway formats the profile and submits it to 10 of the most popular online directories, includingGoogle ( News - Alert) Maps, Yahoo! Local, Bing and Yellowpages.com. The profile can include a link to the business Web site or serve as a stand-alone Web presence with all of the information people need to buy from the business, according to Hostway officials.
Newsletter Broadcast is an interface for creating and managing e-mail marketing campaigns. Users can plug their information into a template or upload their own HTML code and send it to a list of subscribers and track its success using the application. While most Web hosting companies charge for their directory listing service, Hostway is offering it free with any Web hosting package, company officials said.
