  • (1888PressRelease) August 12, 2011 - GlobalSign (http://www.globalsign.com.sg), a specialist in SSL partner programs and security automation technologies, today announced it has partnered with Parallels (www.parallels.com) to offer its automated SSL delivery and installation technology, OneClickSSL, via the Parallels Storefront. OneClickSSL via Storefront will allow Plesk 10 users to resell fully automated SSL - opening up new revenue opportunities and greatly reducing hosting support costs. For users that employ SSL for their own websites, OneClickSSL automates the traditional SSL lifecycle, reducing management costs and making use of SSL simpler and faster.

    With OneClickSSL, Plesk users simply activate SSL for their website by purchasing a Secure Site voucher, which can be purchased directly from GlobalSign or through partnering hosting companies. Customers then redeem the Secure Site voucher via the OneClickSSL plug-in integrated with Parallels Plesk. Redemption of the voucher simply involves the entry of the voucher code and a click of the Activate SSL button; the rest of the process is transparent.

    The OneClickSSL plug-in automatically creates the cryptographic keys, the Certificate Signing Request (CSR), validates the control of the domain, installs the issued certificate and binds it to the appropriate website, all within 45 seconds, thus eliminating the SSL support overhead for the website owner or hosting company. OneClickSSL rewrites the SSL paradigm by moving away from the traditional, long-winded and error prone process of SSL provisioning and replaces it with an automated "click to Activate SSL" workflow easily understood by customers of all technical abilities.

    "We are very excited to partner with GlobalSign and look forward to offering the most innovative SSL delivery mechanism that currently exists to our customer base," said Bryan Goode, VP, GM Parallels Marketplace. "OneClickSSL fits perfectly with the Parallels automation philosophy and will further allow Plesk customers to focus on their core business."

    "Applying and installing SSL Certificates has caused headaches for customers and hosting companies for over 15 years, so we are delighted to see Parallels added OneClickSSL into the Parallels Storefront." said Steve Waite, Chief Marketing Officer, GMO GlobalSign Inc. "OneClickSSL will allow Parallels' thousands of hosting customers and SME end users direct access to automation technology to secure their websites in only seconds."

    OneClickSSL is now available via the Parallels Storefront for Plesk 10 and from the GlobalSign Parallels microsite at http://www.globalsign.com/ssl/oneclickssl/parallels/ for previous versions of Plesk.

    Customers interested in using OneClickSSL via Parallels Plesk can simply purchase a Secure Site voucher from GlobalSign at http://www.globalsign.com/ssl/oneclickssl/storefront .
