Free SSL Certification

Security and encryption is getting ever more important in today's computer networks, being it SSL secured web sites, encryption of data or mail, secure logon to mention just a few. But security is expensive, right? Not anymore....

StartCom, the vendor and distributor of StartCom Linux Operating Systems, also operates MediaHost™, a hosting company, which offered its clients, SSL secured web sites with certificates signed by StartCom for many years. That's where the idea originated: Free SSL certificates!


How?
Most web servers, such as Apache and IIS are capable of running the 128/256-bit secured and encrypted SSL protocol. Most mail clients can encrypt and sign your electronic mail messages. All you need, in most cases, is a SSL certificate to make it work. StartCom can provide you with this certificate through a simple web based interface wizard and sign up process free of charge. With our installation instructions, you'll have your secured web site running within a few minutes.


Why?
Because we believe in the right to protect and secure information between two entities without discrimination of race, origin and financial capabilities. By applying a completely different and new business model, compared to traditional certification authorities, we are able to prove here, that digital certificates can cost much less or may be even free of charge! Instantly! Furthermore, every certificate from StartCom is insured up to US$ 10,000. This and other measures permits your customers to fully rely and trust in StartCom.


Where, when?
Most software vendors like Mozilla (Firefox), Apple (Safari) and KDE (Konqueror) already approved the StartCom Certification Authority and is scheduled to be included in most po****r browsers and mail clients. Sometimes you still have to import our CA certificate into your browser, but within months, your StartCom certificates will be supported without the need of the CA import.
