We now provide low cost SSL Certificates for your web sites. All the certificates offered are single root certificates so it is easier to install. Choose RapidSSL if you have limited web traffic and choose QuickSSL products for more coverage.

What is SSL?

The SSL (and TLS) protocol is the Web standard for encrypting communications between users and SSL (secure sockets layer) e-commerce sites. Data sent via an SSL connection is protected by encryption, a mechanism that prevents eavesdropping and tampering with any transmitted data. SSL provides businesses and consumers with the confidence that private data sent to a Web site, such as credit card numbers, are kept confidential. Web server certificates (also known as secure server certificates or SSL certificates) are required to initialize an SSL session. Customers know when they have an SSL session with a website when their browser displays the little gold padlock and the address bar begins with a https rather than http. SSL certificates can be used on webservers for Internet security and mailservers such as imap, pop3 and smtp for mail collection / sending security.

RapidSSL Certificate

  • Single Root Certificate – Easy to Install
  • The Lowest Cost Single Root Certificate
  • 24/7/365 SSL Issuance
  • Installed and Managed by WebHostingBuzz
  • 99% Browser Recognition
  • $10,000 Warranty

$30 per year only. We currently sell SSL certificates to our current WebHostingBuzz clients only and for those domains that have been registered and currently being managed by WebHostingBuzz.

Hello All,

Those of you visiting the helpdesk recently may have noticed that it’s now pulling news feeds from whbstatus.com, our announcement website. This is only the first phase. It will shortly show news only relevant do you, dependant upon which server you have entered in the server name field. This means it will only show the news from the main announcements forum plus your server forum. Pretty cool, eh?

We’re also setting up login shares between the billing system, helpdesk and status system for new signups. This should be operational before the end of the month.

And lastly…. we’re probably going to open up a discussion area of the forums. We appreciate this is a big thing for many people, and we’re eager to please and improve interaction between staff and clients.

Importance of security cannot be ignored. Cpanel software gives us the ability to access sensitive areas both through SSL (secure socket layer) and through normal modes. SSL is used to securely transfer a given information from one point to another so that it cannot be read by a third party. It is mostly used for control panels, webmail logins, for taking credit card transactions etc. It is a small lock that appears at the bottom or top side of the web browsers and when clicked can give you more information on its authenticity and some information about the website. Commercial SSL certificates are signed by companies like thawte, verisign, geotrust etc.

Anyways enough of this technical mambo jambo, my point is that from now on we will redirect all the users to the https:// (which is the usual prefix of an SSL part of the URL instead of the normal http://) version of control panel, web mail area and web host manager. Since they are self signed which means that they have not been authenticated by a commercial third party, it might give you a pop up. Just click Yes to accept the certificate and move on. It WILL encrypt your access to those areas which is the aim of the whole exercise and that is to make sure all clients are forced to access these sections securely.

I will stop my tuesday morning blah blah now and get back to work…Talk soon.

Before we know it, the weekend is over and we’re back to Monday morning. Not that we really entertain the ideas of weekends at WHB, 24×7 renders them somewhat obsolete ;) But anyway, apart from the excitement of all the bills coming through in the mail we do have some exciting news both now and in the pipeline. As you may have noticed, we’ve been making a lot of changes to our website of late and it’s paying off – SEO efforts are up, we’re getting some very healthy sales increases and we’re trying to portray a clearer image of hosting and what it is exactly we offer. As part of this push, we’ve hired a new web designer to join our team who will shortly be adding some sexy new elements. If you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see on our website, do please let us know!

P.S. – you’ll have to wait for the other exciting news

That’s right…. we had to disable Horde last year because of security vulnerabilities but these have been resolved under Cpanel. We’ll be reintroducing it to all servers very shortly :)
