(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting and managed IT services provider MaximumASP (www.maximumasp.com) has partnered with Certification Authority and SSL reseller GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com) to give MaximumASP customers access to GlobalSign’s full range of SSL Certificate services.
According to its Tuesday announcement, MaximumASP’s decision will continue to stimulate its business model, offering customers a well established Certificate Authority partner that offer a comprehensive range of value-added SSL Certificates as a premium add on service to its existing hosting solutions, which have helped MaximumASP gain recognition as the 2009 Microsoft Worldwide Partner of the year in the Hosting Solutions category.
“We are very excited and proud to welcome yet another industry leader and award winning solutions provider to our partner program,” GlobalSign sales vice president John Murray said in a statement. “By offering high service levels, superb quality, and cost effective partner discounts, GlobalSign has become the preferred SSL partner for more and more companies. MaximumASP joins industry leading partners including Verio, Webfusion, and 123-Reg in providing leading GlobalSign Solutions.”
MaximumASP will offer GlobalSign’s SSL line up including quickly issued Domain Validated SSL, traditional Organization Validated SSL, and EV SSL, the newly standardized SSL that activates the green address bar interface in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari browsers. All GlobalSign SSL Certificates are issued from the widely distributed 2,048-bit GlobalSign Root CA Certificate and feature Server Gated Cryptography, which “steps up” weak browser encryption to strong encryption on older browsers.
A supportive and competitive partner program has helped GlobalSign compete in the SSL marketplace with Internet infrastructure services provider VeriSign (www.verisign.com), which recently issued its four millionth SSL certificate, and web host Go Daddy (www.godaddy.com), which continues to lead the market in SSL certificates sales.
MaximumASP is the latest web host to join the GlobalSign reseller program, whose members include the likes of Liquid Web (www.liquidweb.com), which joined last month, and UK domain registrar 123-reg (www.123reg.co.uk), which joined earlier in the year.
