Honeymoon Part Two: Chicago

posted by Farhan Mirajkar on September 27, 2014

As we continue our cross-country honeymoon by rail, the California Zephyr is pulling us towards Chicago. Pouring coffee at 80 miles per hour is definitely an … experience.

Chicago has always been my favorite midwest city. Aside from the stunning architecture, the friendly people, and the legendary cuisine, it’s Chicago’s rich history that ties everything together. One of the most famous aspects of Chicago’s 20th century history is the Chicago outfit — a syndicate that defined modern day organized crime. Most people probably think of a bygone era of prohibition and bootleg liquor when you say the words “organized crime”. But the reality is that these days, information is where the money is.

You don’t have to spend more than a few seconds browsing any given news aggregator to read about some form of snooping. Whether it’s stealing credit card data or spying on an unsuspecting user, intercepting data is where the money (and power) is. One of the strongest tools against eavesdropping is encryption, and that’s where a decent SSL certificate issued by a respectable Certificate Authority comes in. We just happen to have both.

So in the spirit of fighting for privacy, we want to make sure every single one of our customers has the chance to encrypt their data in transit. That’s why we’re kicking off our Chicago promotion for the next few days:

With every hosting service ordered
9/27/14 – 9/30/14, we’ll include and install
a free two-year Comodo SSL certificate.

To make this work, you’re going to need to order a hosting service with a control panel. That’s any shared hosting or reseller account, or any VPS or dedicated server with Interworx, cPanel, or DirectAdmin. If you order a service without a control panel, we’ll still be happy to give you the SSL certificate, but you’ll have to install it yourself.

An SSL certificate lets you encrypt traffic between your customers and your site. Not only does it build improved trust, but it can also build improved search rankings. Sending unencrypted traffic is less acceptable than ever, and we’re giving you a chance to step up your security absolutely free.

Order must be placed between September 27 2014 and September 30 2014. Offer may not be combined with any other offer, discount, promotion, or custom quote. As per the Fresh Roasted Hosting Terms of Service, if you take advantage of this offer and cancel your service within 90 days of claiming the offer, we will deduct the full retail cost of $18.99 from any refund due.
