service provider

A week ago today, customers of the ISP Orange across the UK and France found that they could no longer access The Pirate Bay.

Many of them fired off emails to the service provider, worried that Orange was censoring their access to the Internet.

Now, a week later, Orange have answered officially.

MSPmentor: "When it comes to hosted email, why zig when you can zag? That explains the strategy at EtomicMail, a managed service provider that’s hosting Zimbra — an open source email platform — rather than Microsoft Exchange."

According to the official OpenID Web site, OpenID is “a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet”.

Fundamentally, an OpenID is a customized URL, chosen by you as your online identity and registered with an OpenID service provider.

Whenever an external site needs to verify your identity for login purposes, you supply this URL instead of your username; the site then contacts your OpenID service provider for authentication.
