Hosting companies using WHMCS can now fully automate SSL reselling through the company's new provisioning system, saving time and support costs.
GlobalSign, a Certification Authority (CA) and provider of SSL Partner Programs, recently announced that its new OneClickSSL technology allowing the automation of SSL reselling, has been integrated into the latest version of WHMCS's billing platform.
The company states that since partnering with WHMCS and initially embedding its SSL reselling module into its platform in 2010, hundreds of hosting providers around the world have benefited from the simplicity of controlling the billing cycle of all hosting products they chose to resell, including the company's SSL Certificates. Over this time, the company and WHMCS have worked closely together in developing the module to incorporate its full range of SSL Certificates, including basic level Domain Validated SSL, to the most advanced Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates, opening up many new opportunities for its SSL Resellers. Now OneClickSSL has been added, WHMCS offers the complete SSL portfolio offered by the company.
It further states that with OneClickSSL, hosting customers purchase Secure Site Vouchers from their hosting provider. The customer goes on to redeem the voucher via any one of the OneClickSSL plug-ins, (including cPanel, Parallels, Plesk, IIS and Apache), by simply entering the voucher code and clicking 'Activate SSL'. Customers have an SSL secured website in only seconds, reducing the support overhead and overall involvement of the hosting company, generating higher margins from the opportunity reselling SSL has to offer, enabling hosts to focus on their core business. The OneClickSSL module will be included in the next release of WHMCS V4.6 as standard. If users are running on version 4.5 or earlier, the module will need to be installed and can be found at http://www.whmcs.com/globalsignssl.php.
"Making OneClickSSL vouchers available through WHMCS further helps hosts offer SSL security to customers of all technical abilities," said Steve Roylance, Business Development Director, GlobalSign. "The vouchers and plug-ins do all of the technical work, including key generation, creation of Certificate Signing Request, validation of control of domain and installation of SSL Certificate, all within 45 seconds."
"We are always eager to keep up to date with the latest hosting and security technologies and we are proud to be the first billing platform to be able to offer GlobalSign's new OneClickSSL service," said Matthew Pugh, Lead Developer, WHMCS. "Putting WHMCS users ahead of the competition is a key strategy for us and we look forward to integrating future GlobalSign SSL developments in the near future."
