See our other blog entry "PCI DSS"

Actinic have posted a useful webpage outlining the current banking standards, its a good read!

We attended a social media conference recently where the key subject was "Social Media and ROI"

Drupal will work quite happily on Pinbrook servers. There are install instructions here

http://drupal.org/getting-started/install

Use the Pinbrook control panel (MySql Server icon) to create the database and database user.

Follow the basic install, the only difference is on the Database Configuration, Advanced Options where you will have to provide the hostname in place of localhost. You will find this on the Pinbrook comtrol panel, MySQL server icon.

You will need to change a few file permissions, the install script will halt to allow you to do this.
