SurelyIT.com BOOSTS WEB HOSTING SECURITY

New TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention Systems Protect Dedicated and Virtual Dedicated Hosting
 
SurelyIT.com has added another layer of security to its Web hosting, deploying TippingPoint™ Intrusion Prevention Systems to block attacks.

SurelyIT.com has put TippingPoint systems in place to protect all dedicated and virtual dedicated hosting servers at no additional cost.  An intrusion prevention system is an in-line device that scans traffic and, based on rules, determines whether data packets are legitimate or malicious.

In addition to this valuable security feature, each dedicated and virtual dedicated hosting plan includes free rapid setup, a free SSL certificate and 24/7 customer support, physical security and network monitoring.
 
TippingPoint systems deliver powerful network protection, functioning transparently at gigabit speeds to guard against cyber attacks.  TippingPoint’s Digital Vaccine® service updates filters regularly to maintain defense against the latest vulnerabilities, viruses and rogue applications.

SurelyIT.com MAKES TEXT MESSAGING EASIER

“Thumbs” Everywhere Breathe a Sigh of Relief
 
SurelyIT.com has announced a new enhancement to its Web-based email product—short message service (SMS) integration, also called text-messaging service.  The new feature lets subscribers to SurelyIT.com’s Web-based email instantly send text messages, as well as standard email.
 
With the texting feature in SurelyIT.com’s Webmail, moms can instantly send reminder emails to kids and text them at the same time so they don’t forget homework.  Sports fans can catch the latest scores and chide their friends who are at the game.  All of this from your desktop—which means no clumsy thumbing in messages on your wireless phone anymore. 
 
Here’s how it works:  SurelyIT.com customers can access their Web-based email accounts as they always have, but now a drop-down menu gives an option to select email only, text message only or both.  A simple cell phone field in the user’s address book drives the feature.  In addition, SurelyIT.com includes a function that allows users to keep within the 160 character limit required by cell phone carriers for text messages.

Custom engineering options are also available, billed at a flat hourly rate.
 
The plan can be added to qualified dedicated hosting accounts during the purchase process.

SurelyIT.com OFFERS WEB SITE BUILDER FOR .MOBI

Helping .MOBI Owners Build Mobile Web Sites
 
SurelyIT.com offers the popular WebSite Tonight® product, providing key features for those yearning to get involved in the .MOBI revolution.
 
Now anyone can design and create a .MOBI-compliant Web site easily and affordably. Pages designed for .MOBI are optimized for on-the-go devices, making them easy to load and navigate from the smaller, more limited screens of wireless phones and PDAs.
 
According to recent reports, 100,000-plus .MOBI domain names were registered during the first four days of the Landrush period beginning Sept. 26. General registration opens up to the public on Oct. 11 when even more registrations are anticipated. To put the excitement into perspective, it took more than 10 years for other top-level domains to garner 100,000 registrations in the early days of the Internet. The fast popularity of .MOBI registrations may support estimates by Yankee Group, an industry analyst, that the mobile data services market could reach $698 billion in yearly sales by 2009, according to a recent CNNmoney.com article.
 
Companies large and small and across all industries can embrace the power of the .MOBI top-level domain.  Using WebSite Tonight offered by SurelyIT.com, users can easily create Web sites that are formatted specifically to provide on-the-go mobile content and services.  For example, Web sites that are .MOBI compliant are designed with content and graphics suited for a two-inch screen rather than a 17-inch desktop monitor.  Long download times and excessive scrolling can be a thing of the past.

Other enhancements to WebSite Tonight include calendar control, photo album enhancements, animated splash pages with sound, music and video support and an expanded workspace.

SurelyIT.com OFFERS EXTENDED VALIDATION CERTIFICATES

Announces Support for Latest SSL Product
 
SurelyIT.com announced today that new Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates are available for sale and ready to install.  An SSL Certificate is a digital credential that authenticates the identity of a Web site and encrypts information via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
 
Created to establish online business identities, enable secure connections and promote online consumer confidence, EV SSLs set a higher standard for secure and successful online businesses.  Like Turbo SSL® and High Assurance SSLs offered by SurelyIT.com, the new EV SSL offers industry-leading 256-bit encryption technology.  A thorough, standardized verification process affords EV SSL owners an opportunity to tout completion of the most stringent vetting process for SSL encryption available today.
 
The EV SSL vetting process involves verifying the applying organization’s identity and typically requires a letter from a representing attorney or accountant.  While the new guidelines are strict, SurelyIT.com EV SSL certificates can be issued within two to four hours after all required documentation is received.
 
When users access sites encrypted with EV SSLs using Internet Explorer® 7, the first browser to distinguish EV certificates, the site’s secure status is immediately evident.  The browser’s address bar reflects a green background and the name of the organization to which the certificate was issued, along with the familiar https:// prefix and padlock icon.  Other browsers currently handle EV SSLs like normal certificates and are expected to distinguish them soon.
