| FreeSSL.com announces the
availability of a FREE security Site Seal for its ChainedSSL customers
FREE "Secured by ChainedSSL" Site Seal now available for
download
Denver, CO May 2003. FreeSSL.com, the SSL certificate security specialist,
has today announced that due to continued growth of customers using its
ChainedSSL brand of trusted SSL certificate and by popular demand, a FREE
"Secured by ChainedSSL" Site Seal is now available for download.
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.
Paul Tourret, Vice President of Sales for FreeSSL.com, stated "We
continue to see double digit growth rates month on month for both the
highly trusted ChainedSSL certificates and the FreeSSL 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 single root, 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 real
alternative to un-trusted "self signed" certificates. FreeSSL.com
owns the root used to issue the certificates and developers find the single
root install very straightforward.
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. ChainedSSL occupies a unique position in the SSL
providers market. Essential factors that have made the brand a success
include the fact that ChainedSSL is the lowest cost chained root certificate
on the market and issuance is immediate 24/7/365. ChainedSSL has high
browser ubiquity, uses industry standard 128 bit encryption, and is issued
by a WebTrust compliant CA.
The Internet has been a revolution to commerce and the transfer of data
in general, which has developed new global business opportunities for
all, including major enterprises, small to medium sized businesses and
individuals alike. Online commerce, now termed e-commerce, has inevitably
however attracted crime and developed a new breed of online criminals
ranging from fraudsters and hackers to cyber terrorists. The growing concern
associated with conducting e-commerce has now resulted in the fact that
security is an essential factor for online business success.
The market is now educated in the basics of online security and the majority
of online users now expect security to be integrated into any online service
they use and as a result they expect any details they provide via the
Internet to remain confidential and secure.
SSL is the core security technology that protects customer's online transactions
and informs users that the security of the online business is being taken
seriously. SSL provides proof of a digital identity and allows online
customers to visibly see that their digital transaction will be confidential.
These are essential factors in gaining customer confidence and therefore
improving online sales.
Therefore we strongly urge our customers use the Site Seal to visually
inform customers that the web site is secure and hence remove any concerns
over the risks associated with sending sensitive data over the Internet.
Customers can download the Site Seal for FREE by following the instructions
detailed in the Support section of the FreeSSL.com web site. For a direct
link, follow; www.freessl.com/resources/siteseal/index.html
ChainedSSL customers can also readily upgrade their FREE Site Seal to
the True Site Smart Seal. The Smart Seal delivers useful and confidence-building
information about the company behind the website displaying the seal and
includes the company name and time/date stamp. A full company profile
(address, tel, fax) is available to website visitors by clicking on the
seal. The patented technology means that site owners and website visitors
are protected from spoofed (copied) sites that can harm the rightful owner.
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. "We quite simply offer the best deal on SSL around
and our certificates are issued immediately" continues Tourret, "This
is why ChainedSSL has already obtained a significant market share. We
will continue to deliver exceptional customer service and the lowest priced
SSL certificates for the small and medium sized businesses available."
