Webhost4less Chooses GlobalSign's SSL Certificates to Compliment New Hosting Services

New web hosting provider joins GlobalSign’s Partner Program to offer customers full range of SSL Certificates via WHMCS platform.

London, UK (PRWEB) March 3, 2010 -- GlobalSign Ltd (www.globalsign.co.uk), one of the longest established Certification Authorities (CA) and specialists in SSL Partner Programs, today announced a new partnership with Webhost4less, a newly formed web hosting provider in the UK hosting market. The partnership will allow Webhost4less to enhance their hosting solutions by bundling GlobalSign’s 2048 bit, future proof SSL Certificates as a value add, as well as offering SSL as a standalone website security product.

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 start up company in a very competitive market. Webhost4less therefore sought an SSL provider who could offer highly trusted and reliable SSL Certificates at affordable prices.

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.

Webhost4less chose to partner with GlobalSign due to their highly 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 GlobalSign’s integration with WHMCS, a web hosting billing management platform. 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 GlobalSign’s SSL Certificates to their hosting portfolio required minimal implementation time, cost or resources.

“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."

“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.”

Partnering with GlobalSign will enable Webhost4less to offer GlobalSign’s full range of SSL Certificates, including fast issuance Domain Validated SSL, traditional Organization Validated SSL and the newly standardised Extended Validation (EV) SSL, which activates the green address bar interface in IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari browsers. Webhost4less are also offering free SSL Certificates within their yearly business and premier hosting packages. All GlobalSign SSL Certificates are inclusive of SGC, have the option of including additional premium features (for example, Subject Alternative Names (SANs) and wildcard characters, to allow the securing of multiple sites with a single certificate) and are issued from GlobalSign’s widely distributed 2048 bit Root CA Certificate.
