Go Daddy has already issued its first free SSL Certificate to binarycloud,
an open source project focused on application framework and development
environments for creating large-scale PHP applications. The Turbo SSL
certificates which Go Daddy will issue to open source projects -- a $29.95
value -- are issued within minutes, have 99% browser recognition, and provide
128-bit Web server security -- the highest level of encryption available on
the market today. Learn more about Go Daddy's no-charge initiative for the
open source community at https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl_opensource.asp"Part of what binarycloud offers is highly secure authentication -- which
means everything we do must be extremely secure -- especially code checkins,"
said Alex Black, Project Leader for binarycloud. "After researching
Verisign's certificates, we decided that Go Daddy's SSL offering was superior
-- well priced and simple to administer. They kindly donated an
enterprise-grade SSL certificate to the project and we've used it with no
problems for a variety of services on binarycloud.com. Thanks, Go Daddy!"

president and founder of The Go Daddy Group, Inc., recently named the fastest
growing technology company (ranked # 8 overall) on the Inc. 500 List of
America's Fastest Growing Private Companies. "Go Daddy offers numerous open
source software applications in conjunction with our hosting plans,

augment these offerings in the coming months."
