(The Hosting News) – GlobalSign Ltd, has now cemented it’s cooperative agreement with Webhost4less, a web hosting provider. Globalsign has stated that this agreement will allow Webhost4less to enhance their hosting solutions by bundling its 2048 bit, SSL Certificates as a value add, as well as offering SSL as a standalone website security product.
It explains that by adding SSL Certificates to their product range, Webhost4less can not only provide a comprehensive one stop shop service offering affordable online security solutions to the UK small and medium enterprise (SME) market, but it can also take advantage of opening up an additional and profitable revenue stream – an invaluable feature for a startup company in a very competitive market. Webhost4less therefore sought an SSL provider who could offer highly trusted and reliable SSL Certificates at affordable prices.
The company states that Webhost4less chose to partner with GlobalSign due to its trusted, but simplified SSL product range including additional free features not available from other providers such as Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) (to “step up” weak browser encryption to strong encryption on older browsers), plus the additional benefit of its integration with WHMCS, a web hosting billing management platform. It further states that the WHMCS plug-in allows hosting companies like Webhost4less to manage and automate reselling GlobalSign SSL Certificates conveniently using the same platform they use to manage their hosting solutions. Adding its SSL Certificates to their hosting portfolio required minimal implementation time, cost or resources.
“We are delighted to welcome on board our latest partner, Webhost4less, as we continue to grow our portfolio of partners worldwide,” said Steve Waite, Marketing Director, GlobalSign Ltd. “We look forward to Webhost4less taking our trusted SSL solutions to their customer base and anticipate a long and mutually beneficial partnership with this new UK hosting provider.”
“As today’s hosting market is extremely competitive, we wanted to be able to offer our customers a range of comprehensive hosting solutions including online security,” said Jim McDonald, Managing Director, Webhost4less. “As a new hosting provider entering the market, GlobalSign’s Partner Program seemed to be the best solution for us, offering a comprehensive reseller support package and ongoing training which will inevitably enable us to grow our business in the future.”

(The Hosting News) – SSL Certificates have become increasingly vital for the owners of e-commerce website owners. With this importance in mind the minds behind web hosting provider Netfirms are doing their part by introducing seamless purchase and application of SSL Certificates as a standard feature through their Control Panel.
Not long ago, obtaining and applying an SSL certificate was a cumbersome task for the average website owner. It not only required knowledge of how their server works, but also required a certain level of comfort in working ‘under the hood’ of your website. For many, this was a real technology headache that needed to be resolved. However, thanks to their latest innovation, this frustration has now been alleviated for Netfirms customers.
“We’ve always been in the business of providing simple solutions for our clients’ web hosting needs. And clearly, the status quo out there for obtaining SSL certificates was frustrating for most.” says Darius Antia, Chief Technology Officer, Netfirms, Inc. “Here we’ve developed a tool that eliminates the hassle of purchasing from a third-party and automates the task of installing it. Acquiring something as essential as an SSL certificate shouldn’t be difficult.”
Netfirms web hosting customers can now literally click a button that says ‘Add SSL Certificate’ found in their control panel. Here they will be prompted for the domain name, certificate type (currently RapidSSL and GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium are available), and the usual customer information for validation. Netfirms automation will take care of the rest, including application of the SSL certificate to their site. This virtually reduces what was once an arduous process, down to just a few clicks.
SSL Certificates can be purchased from one to five years, starting at just $20/yr, up to 70% less than comparable offerings from competitors. Thanks to scale economies and automation of key processes, Netfirms is consistently able to deliver cutting edge solutions to its small business web hosting customers at low cost.

E-commerce has become an integral part of today’s business economy. To no surprise, a number of web hosting companies have emerged to cater to the demand. These firms specialize in services that are specially designed for people who want to sell goods and services online. They generally offer features such as shopping carts, merchant accounts and payment gateways. However, those looking to indulge in e-commerce need to be far more selective when it comes to choosing a web hosting provider. With credit card numbers and personal data involved, the consequences of a security breach can be far more catastrophic than someone running a personal website. For this reason, the use of security features such as SSL is a must.
SSL is one of the most widely used tools for website security. Short for Secure Sockets Layer, SSL is a protocol that protects transactions between the buyer and seller with a cryptographic technology known as encryption. Anyone who sells products or services online is required to implement SSL or higher for security. This is why you see online services such as PayPal and various e-commerce sites with security seals representing that they are protected by SSL encryption.
Shared vs. Private
Most e-commerce hosting companies provide their customers with shared SSL certificates. This basically means that a company purchases their own private SSL certificate, and shares it with all customers residing on its server. While this does not mean that your site is lacking in security, it can be make potential customers very suspicious. When someone visits your site and checks for an SSL certificate, they will see that the certificate is owned by the web hosting company. This could either cause the visitor to question your credibility, or conclude that your site has been compromised by a hacker. You have to keep in mind that many consumers have no idea about web hosting, what company provides you with service, or the difference between shared and private SSL.
Although a private SSL certificate isn’t exactly cheap, it can be very advantageous for your online store and web presence. Once you purchase it from a CA (Certificate Authority), the certificate is yours and yours alone. Now when potential customers visit your site, they will see that you own the certificate, giving them reassurance and the confidence they need to feel safe when shopping on your site. There are fewer questions about whether your website is secure and no questions about who owns the certificate. And because it requires a dedicated IP address, you can ensure that you do not endure penalties as a result of sharing a server with spammers that cause trouble for the shared IP.
Summary
Almost all web hosting companies that specialize in e-commerce solutions offer support for private SSL certificates. As we mentioned above, there is nothing wrong with the shared variety, but having your own certificate can work wonders for your credibility. It could be considered a small investment that shows your audience that you are a serious business owner who can be depended on. Rewards for this investment could be customer loyalty and long-term profits.
