How to Pick a Secure Password

One of the most common questions VPS gets from our users is: "How do I make a password secure?"

Despite the last 10 years of groupthink, it isn't making a password like this: aw3s0ME!

Last year, the IRS adopted a new rule regarding the reporting of electronic merchant processing income. Credit card processing companies now have to report to the IRS all payments made to merchants. Third party processors have to report all payments made to merchants who process a minimum of 200 transactions and a volume over $20,000 for the year. So, for companies having a merchant account, you will be getting an IRS form 1099K from your processor. If you use a third party service where the processor uses their own merchant account to process payments, you will get a 1099K if you are over 200 transactions and $200K. The new rule is effective starting January 1 of 2011.

In short, the new IRS rules are increasing costs for merchant processors, and ultimately, this will result in an increase in monthly rates for most companies that accept credit cards.
