To block attacks, W-Global has added another layer of security to its Web hosting, deploying TippingPoint™ Intrusion Prevention Systems.

To protect all dedicated and virtual dedicated hosting servers at no additional cost, W-GLOBAL has put TippingPoint systems in place. An intrusion prevention system is an in-line device that scans traffic and, based on rules, determines whether data packets are legitimate or malicious.

Each dedicated and virtual dedicated hosting plan, in addition to this valuable security feature, includes free rapid setup, a free SSL certificate and 24/7 customer support, physical security and network monitoring.

Functioning transparently at gigabit speeds to guard against cyber attacks, TippingPoint systems deliver powerful network protection. To maintain defense against the latest vulnerabilities, viruses and rogue applications, TippingPoint's Digital Vaccine® service updates filters regularly.

W-Global announced today that new Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates are available for sale and ready to install. An SSL Certificate is a digital credential that authenticates the identity of a Web site and encrypts information via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

EV SSLs, vreated to establish online business identities, enable secure connections and promote online consumer confidence, set a higher standard for secure and successful online businesses. The new EV SSL, like Turbo SSL® and High Assurance SSLs offered by W-Global, offers industry-leading 256-bit encryption technology. A thorough, standardized verification process affords EV SSL owners an opportunity to tout completion of the most stringent vetting process for SSL encryption available today.
