FreeSSL.com announces
appointment of Paul Tourret and Steven Waite
FreeSSL and ChainedSSL brands set to
relaunch in small/medium business market through new leadership
Denver, CO April 2003. FreeSSL.com,
the SSL certificate security specialist, has today announced the
appointment of two new management team executives to assist the
dedicated FreeSSL.com operations, sales and support teams. The new
executive appointments were previously involved in the management team
of Comodo and were responsible for the launch, marketing, sales and
customer service efforts of Comodo's InstantSSL brand.
Paul Tourret (ex Managing Director of
Comodo) and Steven Waite (ex Marketing Manager of Comodo) joined
FreeSSL.com in April 2003. Mr Tourret and Mr Waite have been appointed
to assist FreeSSL.com to consolidate its position and to ensure it
provides the best deal in SSL. The new executive team will also be
using their experience in the SMB market to help FreeSSL.com grow the
ChainedSSL brand through a break-through reseller network and establish
a number of key value-add relationships to strengthen the FreeSSL.com
offerings.
"At FreeSSL.com, we are 100% focused
on SSL and completely dedicated to the SMB - a unique approach that
ensures we do not end up trying to be a jack of all trades, yet a
master of none." comments Paul Tourret, Vice President of Sales for
FreeSSL.com, "It has always been my personal goal to ensure the
affordability of SSL security for the Internet and our focused approach
ensures we will always provide the SMB with the lowest cost, highly
trusted SSL webserver security available, combined with expert customer
service we know to be essential for success in this market."
Steven Waite, Vice President of
Marketing for FreeSSL.com added "Our combination of 2nd Generation
24/7/365 automated immediate issuance, expert customer service and
focus on delivering the best value solutions for SMBs ensures that
FreeSSL.com will offer the best deal on SSL. The growing customer base
and expansion to the FreeSSL.com team and resource is a testament to
the growing success of the FreeSSL.com brands and service."
It was announced in April that due to
the increasing success of the FreeSSL and ChainedSSL brands, the
FreeSSL.com operation has been significantly expanded to service
current growth and fuel future growth. The expansion included the
injection of new dedicated staff to enhance customer service and the
release of a new web site to provide an improved user friendly customer
interface.
The FreeSSL.com team will also be
making further announcements in the near future about the launch of the
new FreeSSL.com reseller network.
About FreeSSL.com
FreeSSL.com (www.freessl.com) is an Internet security specialist,
focussed on providing small/medium businesses (SMB) with strong 128 /
256 bit encryption, industry standard SSL certificates. FreeSSL.com is
dedicated to being the lowest cost provider of SSL to the SMB
marketplace and offers the FreeSSL and ChainedSSL certificate brands.
FreeSSL certificates remove the barrier of entry for companies wanting
to test or develop their webservers or e-commerce systems by providing
the only available source for FREE, one-year valid SSL certificates.
ChainedSSL certificates provide the lowest cost, highly trusted chained
root SSL security available for SMB websites and are ideal for low
transaction value and low volume e-commerce requirements.
All certificates utilise a fully
automated 2nd Generation validation and issuance platform allowing
customers to uniquely obtain certificates 24/7/365 immediately.
FreeSSL.com provides industry leading customer care available by
telephone, email and web. FreeSSL.com can be contacted at
www.freessl.com and by telephone at US 866-795-4669 or Europe +44 203
0240906.
These are
real scenarios that the SMB face everyday. Developers have a choice to
take the gamble on so called "instant" or "speedy" services that rarely
deliver SSL in under 2 working days, or choose FreeSSL.com and obtain
SSL certificates immediately from a fully qualified, regulated and
approved Certification Authority.
Tourret comments "SSL buyers are
welcome to obtain a FREE FreeSSL certificate for their website prior to
purchasing a commercial grade product, that way people can experience
first hand the seamless issuance process from FreeSSL.com. I strongly
advise buyers read the many caveats that other SSL providers add to
their supposed prompt SSL delivery services before purchasing and hence
avoid missing crucial deadlines".
The ChainedSSL brand provides the
perfect upgrade path to the FreeSSL certificates and has been
exceptionally well received by customers, resellers, ISPs and web
hosting companies. Customers can migrate readily from FreeSSL to
ChainedSSL when their webservers and e-commerce applications are ready
for commercialization. By combining essential factors such as being
issued by a WebTrust audited CA, industry standard 128 / 256 bit
encryption, automated validation, 24/7/365 around the clock fast
immediate issuance, full customer support, high browser ubiquity and
the lowest prices available, ChainedSSL occupies a unique position in
the SSL providers market.
It has been commented by industry
analysts that the entry of chained root brands such as ChainedSSL has
intensified competition and enlivened the security industry.
"ChainedSSL has established significant market share within the first
few months of launching." continues Tourret, "The recent investments in
infrastructure and people will now allow us to grow significantly over
the coming months. With a combination of our FreeSSL and ChainedSSL
brands we are confident that we will offer the best deal on SSL
possible - a position obtained through the delivery of exceptional
customer service and the lowest priced SSL certificates for the SMB
available today."
