email2 is the tool for you if you are looking for a hosted, secure email solution that helps you to observe regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, etc. In addition, email2 also offers secure attachment management, private video messaging, and guaranteeable message tracking. And don't worry, it's fully compatible with regular email!

email2's public website, which is hosted on a Bryght Virtual Private Server on our Bryght Hosting Platform is a beautiful example of how Drupal can be a great system for more traditional static sites as well as community driven social sites.

Derek Houg, Patent & Technical Writer, of email2 says:

"The best thing about our site is the fact that our content can be quickly and easily entered into a unified theme. Users with absolutely no HTML and CSS experience can create necessary content that is compatible with our graphic layout. Using the Drupal themes feature, we were able to create a fantastic looking website and maintain it with minimal work.

Broad prosperity. Shared responsibility. Effective government and progress toward a better future. Progressive U has kickstarted and nurtured students (and former students) blogging about progressive issues and creating their own voice in the media since they started as a Bryght Light site back in February 2005.

Thanks to the hard work of the Progressive U team (including founder and publisher Art Morgan) and gentle fostering of the community, Progressive U was an early success for Bryght and continues to thrive so much that others including Inside Bay Area have taken notice.

They have moved to a Bryght Virtual Private Server on our Bryght Hosting platform to accommodate their high traffic and need for extra features to facilitate the conversation on the sites.
