Letsencrypt automated SSL

Letsencrypt automated SSL – No click SSL!

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve fully automated our LetsEncrypt SSL installation process for all of our Managed VPS customers.

What does this mean?  This means that every Brownrice Managed VPS customer receives UNLIMITED FREE SSL certificates for every web site on any Managed Brownrice VPS.  Forever!

And the other great thing about this is that our SSL process is 100% seamless and 100% automated.  How seamless and automated you ask?

  1. Sign up for a Brownrice Managed SmartVPS ($9.95 w/ 1GB RAM & 40GB disk)
  2. Login to responsive, fantastic dashboard and set up new web site by clicking a few buttons.
  3. Point DNS to your new web site (i.e. make it live!) by clicking a couple more buttons.
  4. Wait 1 hour.
  5. Done. (SSL certificate issued and site secured without email verification.)

Repeat above steps 2 through 3 for as many sites and subdomains as you like.  Zero additional charges.

No hands SSL!

By the way this SSL certificate will be renewed every three months, automatically, without you touching a thing.

Want to start?  Sign up here and we’ll have your VPS up and running in minutes!

Joomla Zero-day hack

Brownrice Internet logo

Joomla software is actively being attacked and hacked by a “zero-day” vulnerability that must be immediately patched by your developer.

Read about it, and the fix, here: https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/12/remote-command-execution-vulnerability-in-joomla.html

We are actively seeing Joomla customer sites on our servers being hacked.  Once the hackers hack your site they’ll send pornographic spam emails, attack visitors to your site, and steal your customer data.  So its  imperative that you contact your developer now and apply the patch in the link above.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this.
