Web Host HostDime Launches $20 SSL Promotion, Twitter Discount

Existing Web hosting customers of HostDime can take advantage of the special

ORLANDO, Fla., June 5, 2009 – HostDime, a provider of managed hosting services, today launched an e-commerce security promotion offering 256-bit yearly SSL certificates for only $20. Individuals do not need to be existing HostDime customers to take advantage of the special.

SSL Certificates offer a variety of security benefits for websites handling potentially sensitive transactions and private data, such as credit card numbers or contact information. 256-bit encryption represents the industry standard of encryption for security certificates.

“HostDime has always taken the position that as a web hosting provider, it is our role to entice our clients to adopt and deploy industry standard security solutions. By providing SSL certificates as part of this promotion, we hope our customers will recognize that implementing this type of security can be affordable and painless,” said Emmanuel Vivar, HostDime CEO. “Many think SSL certificates are reserved solely for online stores, but SSL certificates are utilized far beyond the shopping cart – from personal browser security to secure email signatures, SSL offers vital protection.”

HostDime’s technicians will install purchased SSL certificates for customers at no additional charge. Technicians will even provide free guidance to individuals taking advantage of the promotional pricing who are not HostDime web hosting customers.

Twitter users who follow HostDime receive an additional $5 off the $20 price, by simply entering their Twitter username into the comments section of the order at checkout. The $5 discount is multiplied by the number of years for which the certificate is purchased. (A five-year certificate would receive $25 off).

To utilize SSL, each enabled domain is required to be issued a dedicated IP address. HostDime offers dedicated IP addresses for $4.00 per month for shared hosting, $3.00 per month for reseller hosting, and $2.00/month for dedicated server clients.
