FreeSSL.com announces FREE
Wildcard SSL certificates for a limited promotion period
Highly trusted, strong 128 / 256 bit
encryption, industry standard chained root Wildcard SSL certificates
now available, issued immediately, night or day completely free
Denver, CO April 2003. FreeSSL.com,
the SSL certificate security specialist, has today announced an
industry first by offering its ChainedSSL Wildcard SSL certificates,
completely FREE for a limited promotion period.
ChainedSSL Wildcard Certificates allow
a single SSL certificate to be used on multiple and different
subdomains and often represent an easy and cost effective SSL solution
for organisations, in particular hosting companies.
FreeSSL.com, normally sells its
ChainedSSL Wildcard for 349 USD, valid for 1 year, which has made
FreeSSL.com the most cost effective supplier of chained root Wildcards
in the market.
ChainedSSL Wildcard will also be made
available through the recently announced FreeSSL.com reseller program,
launching soon.
Paul Tourret, Vice President of Sales
for FreeSSL.com commented "I have stated in previous industry press
releases that many hosting and Internet based companies today organize
their infrastructures so that traffic is load balanced to their
webservers, which is a simple, scalable and a reliable way to handle
infrastructure growth. Even at our normal price of $349, ChainedSSL
Wildcard certificates are a cost effective and efficient means of
securing all infrastructure subdomains without the need to manage
multiple certificates. But we are making industry history by offering
them at zero price for our promotional period."
ChainedSSL Wildcards are validated,
128 / 256 bit industry standard SSL, trusted by all popular browsers
with high browser ubiquity and are issued immediately.
Tourret further commented "We are
delighted to be leading the industry to make security for the Internet
more affordable".
Since launching in 2001, FreeSSL.com
has experienced great success in providing the small to medium size
business (SMB) market with the lowest cost SSL certificates available.
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 has included the injection of new dedicated staff
to enhance customer service, the release of a new web site and to
provide an improved customer experience when obtaining SSL certificates.
FreeSSL.com originally launched with
its FreeSSL Certificate brand and it became an instant hit within the
SSL marketplace. The FreeSSL brand uniquely enabled businesses to
obtain 1 year fully functional and trusted SSL certificates suitable
for the testing and development of online operations and e-commerce
systems. The success of FreeSSL has grown over the years, predominantly
due to it remaining the only completely free alternative to un-trusted
"self signed" certificates. Developers and webmasters have been able to
utilise the 90 percent browser ubiquity FreeSSL offers rather than
traditionally opting for self signed SSL, where they are forced to
distribute the self signed root in order to avoid browser warning
messages. FreeSSL.com owns the root used to issue the certificates and
hence makes installation very straightforward.
The ChainedSSL brand 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
industry standard 128 / 256 bit encryption, automated validation,
24/7/365 around the clock 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 be the leading supplier to the
entry level SMB market space - a position obtained through the delivery
of exceptional customer service and the lowest priced SSL certificates
for the SMB available today."
