SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Nexcess, a provider of premium performance-optimized web hosting, has announced the addition of low-cost SSL encryption to its international content distribution network.
With the introduction of its SSL CDN, Nexcess is able to offer its clients incredible performance without sacrificing security or user privacy. The ability to deliver SSL-protected content with minimal latency is particularly important to eCommerce hosting clients, who rely on being able to provide both a lightning-fast online retail experience and a guarantee of information security.
Maintaining optimal performance on a global scale while providing comprehensive HTTPS encryption used to be expensive and complex to implement. The Nexcess SSL CDN, which can be added to any Nexcess CDN plan for $20, makes it an easy and cost-effective option to protect user data while maintaining the low-latency reliability that is a hallmark of Nexcess web hosting.
"By making SSL available over our content distribution network, we are empowering clients to create inclusive retail and publishing experiences for a worldwide audience," commented Chris Wells, President and CEO of Nexcess, "In today's online environment, data security is of paramount importance; hosting clients shouldn't have to choose between security and performance. With our SSL CDN, they don't have to."
Nexcess's WordPress, Magento eCommerce, and vBulletin hosting platforms are comprehensively performance optimized to provide the best possible experience for users, but no amount of server and software optimization can overcome the physical limitations of geographic distance. The Nexcess content distribution system is an extensive network of edge nodes located at key points around the world. Content is pushed from Nexcess' data centers to the edge nodes so that users get the same fast and reliable service no matter where they are.
Nexcess global hosting infrastructure has multiple points of presence across the US, and facilities in the UK and Australia, which are strategically located to provide low latency access to the economically important North American, South and Central American, European, and Asia Pacific regions. Use of the Nexcess SSL CDN in addition to Nexcess' global hosting infrastructure allows clients to locate their sites in the geographic area most important to their business without sacrificing fast and secure access to the rest of the world.
