SSL Encrypted SQL Communication: SQL Hosting Security Enhancement

For Q1, we’ve been focusing on many enhancements to our SQL server hosting service. I’m happy to announce that we’ve added an extra level of security to our SQL hosting service with the introduction of SSL Encrypted SQL Connections.

With this security enhancement, DiscountASP.NET customers can use SQL Management Studio and use the “Encrypt Connection” option when connecting to their database. This is an option for SQL 2008 and SQL 2005 in both the US and UK hosting locations.

We hope that this becomes a standard for all hosts.

Here is a link to the press release.
