April 29, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider 2MHost (2mhost.com) announced on Wednesday that it would offer 128-bit StarterSSL secure socket layer certificates free of charge with all its business and reseller hosting packages. The certificates normally retail for $49.
"We're extremely proud to be able to offer SSL certificates to our customers," says Mike Noman, owner of 2Mhost. "It will allow our clients to conduct business online in a much more secure manner."
The company says the move to offer free SSL certificates was led by the request of customers.
"Our customers have been asking about SSL a lot lately, so we decided to become the first low cost Web host to provide these certificates free of charge," says Noman.
2MHost says it is offering its next 50 customers free SSL certificates regardless of the hosting plan they sign up for, starting midnight on Wednesday, April 27. The company will renew the certificates free of charge every year so long as they remain a customer.
