Los Angeles, CA August 12, 2008 -- NameCheap, a leader in domain name registration and website hosting, is now offering a free Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with every purchase on their website. This offer is available for any purchase including domain registrations, domain transfers, and hosting accounts and extends one year after the certificate's activation.

The free SSL in NameCheap's offering comes with IdAuthority, the world's first and unique real-time identity assurance service developed by Comodo that allows website identities to be verified against registry and public data. The PositiveSSL also comes with 128/256 bit encryption, capable of encrypting credit card information for low volume ecommerce sites. All customers will be able to put the Comodo seal on their site.

NameCheap's CEO Rick Kirkendall is happy to offer the PositiveSSL to all customers. "Because SSLs are crucial for any site transmitting sensitive information it is important for any website to provide their clients with this added security. A lot of other companies overcharge for them. This is a great value we are offering for NameCheap customers and we are glad to have Comodo as a partner in this. Hopefully this will allow a lot of those smaller ecommerce website operators an easy way to secure their client's personal information," said Kirkendall.

This limited time offering is available without a coupon to all customers at the NameCheap website.

NameCheap was started in 2000 by CEO Richard Kirkendall in Los Angeles, California. Currently, we have over 500,000 clients and millions of domain names have been registered through the site.
