Web Hosting News – Codero announces the launch of its Cloud hosting beta this week at competitive prices for both the monthly and hourly billing terms. For a limited time, prices are even further below market price for those who sign up during the initial beta period. Set-up for both plans is at no charge and no contracts are required.

The new on-demand service from Codero is available as both a pay monthly plan and an hourly plan. The hourly Cloud Computing plan allows consumers to turn on additional resources when their business demands it, and turn them off when their business does not, paying per hour of resource utilization, instead of being forced into a monthly commitment. Cloud is designed to be elastic to accommodate traffic spikes and other variable load applications.

According to Vice President of Development, Nicholas Gaugler, “Putting applications or websites in the Cloud at Codero allows you to run them in a highly available virtualized environment. You can increase resources and create one or 100 Cloud VM instances and have them ready in a matter of minutes, preinstalled with the configuration you choose and save as a template for the future. The beauty of Cloud is that you can customize your solution without worrying about the hardware behind the scenes and whether or not it will grow with your business. It really helps you focus your attention more on your business, not the intricacies of web hosting.”

The Codero Cloud is especially well suited for sites that expect to grow rapidly and sites with cyclical traffic. It has a control panel giving users the ability to manage their entire Cloud offering online. Codero’s Cloud provides the benefit of changing the resources allocated to an existing Cloud VM, whether you want to increase or decrease the processing power, RAM or hard drive space.

Web Hosting News – Boston, MA – GlobalSign, one of the leading providers of SSL Certificate solutions, today announced the launch of the multi-platform OneClickSSL plug-ins at the World Hosting Days 2011, held at Europa Park in Rust, Germany from the 22 until the 25 March 2011.

The OneClickSSL system is being made available at the platform level for cPanel, Parallels Plesk, IIS and Apache (with other integrations being revealed at the WHD event) – thereby offering hosting companies the most efficient way to employ SSL security ever available.  OneClickSSL rewrites the SSL paradigm by moving away from the traditional, long-winded and error prone process of SSL provisioning and replacing it with an automated “click to Activate SSL” workflow easily understood by customers of all technical abilities. With OneClickSSL, users simply activate SSL for their website by redeeming Secure Site vouchers via any of the OneClickSSL plug-ins.  Redemption of the voucher means the plug-in transparently 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.
