LexiConn: Behind the Scenes, Part 3 – Network Upgrades

---

In the past two newsletters, we have described our DNS redundancy and backup systems. This month we will highlight network improvements.

The two datacenters we utilize (DC1 and DC2 as noted on our Network Status page) have been undergoing network improvements over the past few months. Each datacenter is a tier-1 datacenter, which includes multiple diverse tier-1 providers, BGP routing, UPS backup systems, diesel generator backup systems, and fire suppression systems.

A new Gigabit circuit has been installed between the two datacenters. This new circuit provides the ability for increased throughput intra-datacenter, and more importantly, allows each datacenter to share bandwidth providers. This sharing increases network availability as the best possible path among all the providers can now be utilized by each. This also increases redundancy and lessens the impact of one upstream provider having a network issue.

New SSL Certificate Offerings

---

LexiConn is pleased to announce that we now offer a variety of SSL certificates through both GeoTrust and VeriSign, including the latest Extended Validation SSL certificates.

SSL is a protocol designed for transmitting sensitive / private information via the web. The secure certificate works by activating the browser’s “lock” icon, and enabling up to 256-bit encryption. All secure pages begin with https://, and this protocol assures online visitors that confidential information and transactions cannot be viewed, intercepted or altered.

The GeoTrust certificates that we offer are compatible with 99%+ of all browsers, and come in four different variations:

QuickSSL – standard 256-bit encryption certificate.

QuickSSL Premium – standard 256-bit secure certificate that includes the use of a True Site security seal on your website. This dynamic site seal automatically identifies your site as authentic and validated by a trusted third party.

True Business ID – premium 256-bit secure certificate that includes the use of a True Site security seal on your website. This dynamic assurance site seal includes an embedded company name/date/time stamp, thereby offering the utmost in buyer confidence.

True Business ID with EV – premium 256-bit secure certificate that includes all of the True Business ID features. Additionally, with Extended Validation, the address bar is displayed in green, thereby providing your customers a convenient and extremely visible sign that you have a highly authenticated, trustworthy site and that your customers’ information is secure. The Security Status bar displays the organization name and the name of the Certificate Authority (CA).

The VeriSign line of SSL certificates offers security and compatibility that is equal to GeoTrust. VeriSign has the added benefit of superior brand recognition, as VeriSign is the name most often associated with the highest levels of Internet security. We offer the following two types of VeriSign certificates:

SecureSite – premium 256-bit secure certificate that includes the VeriSign Secured Seal, an international sign of trust displayed on over 90,000 domains.

SecureSite with EV – premium 256-bit secure certificate that includes all of the SecureSite features. Additionally, with Extended Validation, the address bar is displayed in green, thereby providing your customers a convenient and extremely visible sign that you have a highly authenticated, trustworthy site and that your customers’ information is secure. The Security Status bar displays the organization name and the name of the Certificate Authority (CA).

Through our partnership agreements, we are able to offer the aforementioned certificates at a lower cost than if you purchased them directly from Geotrust or VeriSign. Feel free to read more about them and/or order a certificate through our website at:

Domain Transfer Special Reminder

---

As a reminder, all domain transfers to our registry placed now through June 30, 2009 will receive a special rate of $12.50, which is a 50% savings off of our normal rate. To take advantage of this special offer, simply initiate the transfer process at:

http://domains.lexiconn.com/transfer_your_domain.html

Transferring your domain adds a year to your current expiration date, and does not interfere with your website’s functionality in any way. Aside from this special rate, advantages to switching to our registry include an easy to use web interface, knowing that LexiConn will make sure you are aware of when your domain expires, and unmatched customer service. Detailed information regarding the transfer process can be found in our knowledgebase at:

http://support.lexiconn.com/kb/categories/Domains/

You will be billed at our normal rate of $25 per year (or $20 per year for renewals of 5 or more years) for all subsequent years, which represents a significant savings over various other registrars.
