BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Endurance
International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI), a leading provider of
cloud-based platform solutions to help small and medium-sized
businesses succeed online, today announced that it has expanded its
partnerships initiative to include new partners in web security and
online presence management.
Comodo, a leading internet security provider of SSL certificates
and other security software, has been tapped as the exclusive
provider of SSL certificates to Endurance's small business
customers. Endurance also announced a partnership with Yext, a
digital presence management software company that provides
businesses the ability to manage their digital presence in online
maps, directories and apps.
Through its growing partnerships initiative, Endurance's 3.8
million subscribers have access to best-in-class products directly
on the Endurance platform. Endurance's current product
partnerships include Google Apps, WordPress, Weebly, SiteLock,
CodeGuard, Marchex, TransFirst, BigCommerce, Ecwid, and
SpamExperts. Endurance continues to expand its Google partnership
globally, most recently, expanding a program to offer its customers
in Europe Google AdWords marketing credits with their hosting
packages. Additionally, Endurance and Google have partnered since

we're thrilled to add Comodo and Yext to our growing list of
trusted partners. Their products add value to the Endurance
platform and importantly, help our small business subscribers grow

Comodo Partnership
Multiple surveys have shown an
increasing level of consumer concern related to online data
protection and security. SSL Certificates are used by online
businesses to protect customer transactions and allow for secure
connections from a web server to a browser. They are most commonly
used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer, and logins.
Recently, Google announced that it will be incorporating the
presence of an SSL certificate in its search algorithm, elevating
the importance of website security in search engine results.
Endurance's partnership with Comodo will allow its customers to
easily obtain an SSL certificate and tailor a package of security
technology through the Endurance platform.
Comodo's SSL certificates are currently available on Endurance
brands Bluehost and HostGator, and are currently being implemented
on iPage, IPOWER, FatCow, BigRock and ResellerClub.
Yext Partnership
Founded in 2006, Yext enables
companies to manage their digital presence in online maps,
directories and apps. Digital presence is a fundamental need for
businesses today, and Yext's mission is perfect location
information in every hand. The partnership with Yext will allow
Endurance customers to easily access this important tool for
managing their online presence.
