(The Hosting News) – GlobalSign today announced the availability of its leading Digital Certificate and SSL products through the launch of a new dedicated Canadian website (globalsign.ca). With language options for sales and support now available in both English and French, GlobalSign can support its growing Canadian customer base and partner network.
As expansion in e-commerce and web service deployments continue to accelerate in Canada, more and more online businesses are in need of security solutions to protect their websites, online data, and intellectual property and ensure they are safe from phishing attacks and online fraud. The most common protocol used today is the Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) which essentially provides a secure channel between two machines operating over the internet or internal network. The SSL market in Canada experienced growth of over 20% during the last year, becoming the sixth largest market for SSL Certificate usage worldwide.*
GlobalSign’s Canadian web site will have both English and French language content available to aid Canadian customers in deploying the strongest SSL security and associated services. By launching a website catered directly for Canadian customers, GlobalSign aims to help protect individuals and organizations against ever growing online security threats by supporting new customers and educating them on how to look for strong website security. GlobalSign is also aiming to contribute to overall SSL market growth and following recent industry upheavals will seek to attract customers who are apprehensive about their existing SSL provider and seeking a more stable alternative.
GlobalSign will be offering its full range of SSL Certificates via the new website, including fast issuance Domain Validated SSL and the most advanced Extended Validated (EV) SSL Certificates, which activate the green address bar in new high security browsers such as IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari. Customers will be able to easily and conveniently purchase SSL to secure their websites, online transactions, web mail and other next generation online services using GlobalSign’s highly trusted and future-proof technology. All GlobalSign Certificates include Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) (to “step up” weak browser-to-server-connections to strong encryption levels), have the option of including additional premium features (for example, Subject Alternative Names (SANs) and wildcard characters to allow the securing of multiple domain names, sub domains, IP addresses or hostnames with a single Certificate). All Certificates are issued from GlobalSign’s 2048 bit Certificate Authority Root, pre-installed in all browsers, operating systems and mobile devices.
“Launching a localized suite of services for the Canadian market and catering to Canada’s language requirements further proves GlobalSign’s ongoing commitment to our global customers,” said Motto Noda, CEO, GMO GlobalSign Inc., “This expansion will improve sales and support services for our existing Canadian customers and offer a much needed alternative to the standard market players.”

(The Hosting News) – 1&1 has entered the Polish market today by presenting a very attractive welcome package. 1&1 offers a free professional hosting product for 2 years, which contains all necessary applications for creating a high-quality website, such as a website builder, 10 GB web space, extensive monthly transfer volume of 3000 GB and 1 .PL domain. 1&1’s business activities in Poland are managed by the newly established subsidiary 1&1 Internet Sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw.
“Our launch promotion is based on 20 years of experience, which provides our customers quality, reliability and performance. Our clear goal is to further develop the Polish Internet market so that our new customers can benefit from our global expertise. At the moment, too few small and medium-sized companies have their own website. Convincing the ‘off-liners’ of the advantages of an online presence will be a stimulus for the Polish economy”, says Oliver Mauss, CEO International of 1&1 Internet.
Founded in 1988, 1&1 Internet is one of the pioneers of the global internet industry. According to numbers recently reported by Intac.net, a respected resource for information about the IT industry, 1&1’s fleet of over 70,000 servers is larger than that of any other top player in the hosting industry. Comparatively, 1&1 is third in line for total number of servers behind Intel and Google.
1&1 operates in 5 major markets across Europe and North America. The company manages more than 11 million domain names, while its global community is over 9.5 million customer contracts strong. With the market entry in Poland, 1&1 aims to continue its solid expansion and to further consolidate its position as the leading web hosting company in the world.
“The Internet market in Poland is growing very quickly with only every second company operating a website of its own. Thus, Poland is one of the most attractive markets for 1&1 in Europe. After the introduction of our welcome package, we will introduce a wide range of products to the Polish market in the coming months – a variety of hosting and server offers as well as domain packages and eCommerce solutions. We will offer innovative, high-quality products at a very attractive price-performance ratio, without compromising quality or security”, adds Oliver Mauss.

(The Hosting News) – HostingArmor.com, a Florida based Internet security company, announced the launch of its website security scanner. Supported by the Nessus scanning engine, HostingArmor provides site owners with a simple and cost effective way to understand their server’s security vulnerabilities.
“I’ve seen, time and time again, situations when website owners will assume that their hosting company or their webmaster keeps their server patched and up to date and secure against web application vulnerabilities. All too often this is not the case. The problem is, most site owners know and understand how to run their business, but know very little about maintaining secure servers”, says Sean Faircloth, Co-Director of Technical Operations.
HostingArmor is designed to be easy enough for even novice website owners to use, while providing the technical data necessary to ferret out any security holes in a web server. Traditional server scanning has, in the past, involved very technical installations and required that business owners either become security experts or fork over thousands of dollars to maintain their own security. HostingArmor was designed from the ground up to bring the same level of technical detail to a broader audience by making server security scanning easy to use and affordable. Unlike traditional scanners, HostingArmor’s service requires no installation. Site owners simply add their “scan targets”, or sites they wish to scan, to their account and can begin scanning for upwards of 30,000 different web server vulnerabilities.
Faircloth continues, “hackers aren’t always interested in compromising a web server for the information in it or to simply destroy the server. Many servers are compromised and used by the hacker for other nefarious purposes like DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks or even just for the use of the web server. Often, site owners don’t know until it is too late and many end up responsible for the ‘hangover’ from such incidents – high bandwidth bills, abuse complaints, and so forth”.
HostingArmor is offering a 30 day free trial to the vulnerability scanner, to help site owners assess their own security risks. The trial offer allows users to scan their own domains up to 35 times during the first month and provides full access to every feature available. More information about the company and the HostingArmor scanner is available at the Company’s website.
About HostingArmor
HostingArmor is a privately held website security scanning company. The Company was founded in 2006 by professionals from the web hosting industry that saw and understood the broad absence of adequate security and security information across most websites. HostingArmor was created as an easy way for both network engineers and executives to understand the security status of high-volume e-commerce websites quickly and accurately. Using HostingArmor is fast and simple. Provide our scanner with your website address (or IP) and click submit. It’s that simple. Really. For more information and a free 30-Day Trial, visit http://www.hostingarmor.com
