Web Host 123-Reg Offers Free SSL Certificate With Every New Online Shop
December 2, 2009 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – With 93 per cent of consumers expected to buy online this Christmas, 123-reg is offering a free SSL certificate worth £99.99 to ensure maximum internet security. The free certificate comes with every purchase of a 123-reg ecommerce package, which start from as little as £8.99 a month, helping potential etailers capitalise on the explosion in internet shopping this festive season.
An SSL certificate encrypts data transmitted over the internet by online merchants. The free SSL domain wildcard certificate from 123-reg provides security for a domain name and unlimited sub domains, ensuring that consumers have confidence when shopping online that a site is fully secure. Research has shown that online retailers in Britain could be missing out on $5 billion of revenue because customers are concerned about internet security, so 123-reg is tackling the issue with the free SSL certificate to ensure its customers can maximise online sales.
Thomas Vollrath, managing director of 123-reg, comments, “Online shopping sees huge growth every Christmas and we want our customers to take advantage of this and generate that extra income in the run-up to Christmas. Security is a vital consideration for consumers when buying online, so with our free SSL certificate for those that open an online shop, they can secure their domain and unlimited sub-domains to provide customers with peace of mind and of course, protect themselves.”
The SSL certificate, free with every purchase of an ecommerce package, is installed by 123-reg, so fully-secure online shops can be set-up easily and simply.
123-reg offers three levels of ecommerce packages, starting at just £8.99 a month, providing everything needed to start an online shop with no technical knowledge necessary, including catalogue, shopping basket, payment and marketing tools.
