Web hosting provider Netfirms (www.netfirms.com) announced on Thursday it is introducing seamless purchase and application of SSL certificates as a standard feature through its control panel.
Netfirms customers can now purchase SSL certificates by clicking on the "Add SSL Certificate" button in the control panel.
Once customers click on the button, they will be prompted for the domain name, the choice between RapidSSL and GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium certificates, and the basic customer information for validation.
Netfirms automation will then carry out the rest of the process, including application of the SSL certificate to their site.
"We've always been in the business of providing simple solutions for our clients' Web hosting needs. And clearly, the status quo out there for obtaining SSL certificates was frustrating for most," says Darius Antia, chief technology officer of Netfirms. "Here we've developed a tool that eliminates the hassle of purchasing from a third-party and automates the task of installing it. Acquiring something as essential as an SSL certificate shouldn't be difficult."
SSL Certificates are now available at Netfirms for one to five year terms, starting at $20 per year. According to the press release, this pricing is up to 70 percent less than comparable offerings from Netfirms' competitors.
