Superb Internet joins FreeSSL.com partner program

Superb Internet customers gain benefits of immediate security with FreeSSL.com's StarterSSL™

Denver, CO May 2003. FreeSSL.com, the SSL certificate security specialist, has today announced that Superb Internet Corporation, a world leader of quality managed hosting and e-commerce solutions will offer FreeSSL.com SSL solutions to its customers.

SSL certificates enable a browser to submit data securely to a web server, and vice versa. SSL is essential for any web site conducting ecommerce transactions or who require security for login pages, web mail or mail servers.

Superb Internet Corporation (www.superb.net), a world-leading provider of award winning, affordable managed dedicated server solutions and web hosting services since 1996, has partnered with FreeSSL.Com to give their customers the ability to purchase directly from Superb FreeSSL.com’s “StarterSSL™” - the lowest cost, single root install SSL certificate available.

StarterSSL is the latest 128 / 256 bit SSL certificate to be made available by FreeSSL.com. It is a highly trusted, single root install SSL certificate, and avoids the sometimes difficult and extensive installation issues usually associated with “chained root” certificates. StarterSSL is issued through FreeSSL.com’s automated issuance process, allowing certificates to be issued almost immediately. This combination ensures that StarterSSL certificates are “issued in minutes and installed in seconds”.

“Today’s savvy online customers are demanding that the web sites they will do business with on the Internet have a high level of security which requires an SSL Certificate amongst other things. We are extremely pleased to be partnering with FreeSSL.com to provide low cost SSL certificates for our customers.” comments Curtis R. Curtis, VP of Sales & Marketing. “The immediate issuance and simple installation is a major benefit to our hosting customers, who demand a highly trusted, cost effective and easy to install SSL certificate on their web site.”

Steve Waite, VP Marketing with FreeSSL.com comments “We are delighted to welcome such a prestigious web host as Superb Internet to the FreeSSL.com partner program. StarterSSL has proven to be ideal for web hosts who are looking for an entry level SSL certificate that is cost effective, yet at the same time can be issued and installed quickly. As our issuance processes are fully automated we place no additional resource requirements on the host, making the entire process fast and easy for both web host and end customer.”

FreeSSL.com owns the trusted root certificate used to issue StarterSSL.

StarterSSL Certificates are now available through Superb Internet.
