All of our reseller packages now come with free unlimited SSL certificates!

If you're running an online store or any website that collects client data an SSL certificate is a crucial part of ensuring that data is transmitted securely across the web. Some hosting companies charge a fortune for this privilege but we're different and want to encourage website security.

These PositiveSSL certificates can even be passed down to your clients, either sold or given out free of charge and there's absolutely no limit to the number you can have.

To receive an SSL certificate simply generate a CSR as per this link and we will process it for you.

It doesn't just end there, we have some amazing features lined up for the coming weeks so keep your eyes peeled!

suffolk, England (January 20, 2011)—EZPZ Hosting announced today it has deployed the SpamExperts Incoming Mail Filter to on all shared and reseller hosting accounts, automatically providing customers with enterprise-grade spam protection at no additional charge to them.

The hardware-based solution offers one of the industry’s most robust protections against spam, relying on public and internal anti-spam data sources to provide optimal protection. The Incoming Email Security Firewall combines more than 50 different filtering mechanisms that are continuously updated and configured to assure spam filtering is accurate and effective.

“For many of our customers, spam email creates more than just a nuisance—it also causes significant losses in productivity and can expose end users to a myriad of security threats, ranging from viruses to sophisticated phishing attacks. Unfortunately, the problem is not getting better, as many industry leaders had hoped,” said Daniel Knights, director of EZPZ Hosting. “By investing in this enterprise-grade, next-generation anti-spam technology for all of our shared and reseller hosting customers, we can deliver a tangible value-add that separates us from our competitors.”

According to SpamExperts, filtering is divided into two stages. Stage 1, the SMTP-stage, analyzes the behavior and reputation of the sending server. Around 95% of all spam can already be detected at this stage. In stage 2, the content-stage, the actual content of the message is checked and the remaining 5% of spam messages are detected. Together, a spam-score probability is calculated and based on this customizable score, messages will be accepted, rejected, or quarantined.

Last year, EZPZ Hosting introduced the industry’s first module to automate business management for reseller hosting customers, by enabling resellers to automatically provision and manage all new sub-reseller accounts through a single application. It was developed internally by EZPZ Hosting and provides an interface between WHMCS, a client management and billing system for hosting businesses, and WHMPHP, a master reseller hosting control panel.

In 2008, EZPZ Hosting received the Planet Positive certification. As part of the process, EZPZ Hosting measured the carbon footprint of its business, made a commitment to reduce it on an annual basis, and offset it by 110% into verified carbon projects.

Keeping up to date with kernel updates is extremely important and often fixes important security holes. In 2009 there were 16 released, each requires a reboot which takes around 15 minutes to complete. This means there would have been a total of 4 hours downtime just to update the kernel. Ksplice allows us to perform these updates without rebooting and without any impact on performance.

The other advantage is that we can apply patches instantly. We no longer need to plan ahead and give a few days notice of an impending reboot, during this time the server may be open to an exploit causing obvious security problems.

Ksplice is now installed on all shared, reseller and VPS servers. It is also included free of charge on all managed dedicated servers
