With this in mind, I have made two fairly significant updates to the HostedFX website.

A new payment gateway – Google Checkout
Google Checkout is becoming quite popular lately. If you haven’t heard of it, it is quite similar to the ever-popular PayPal. “With Google Checkout you can quickly and easily buy from stores across the web and track all your orders and shipping in one place.” So far, we have found the fee’s on transactions to be slightly lower than PayPal’s and the whole interface is extremely pleasing on the eye and pleasant to use.

Google Checkout

For this reason, HostedFX now accepts Google Checkout as a payment method for all new orders and invoices for existing customers. Simply select Google Checkout from the drop-down box when paying an invoice. The only downside that I’ve found of Google Checkout is that there is no option for subscriptions; so for those of you who prefer to use a subscription, Google Checkout probably isn’t for you just yet.

The client area is now even more secure
We’ve decided to go ahead and add SSL encryption to all of our transactions and activity within the client area (notice the new URL). For those of you who are not aware of what this means; “An SSL Certificate refers to the digital certificate used with the most popular security protocol on the Internet. When you make a purchase on the Web and notice the closed lock icon at the top or bottom of your browser or the HTTPS:// prefix in the URL, it means you have established a secure SSL connection.”

Two simple updates, which have meant more flexibility along with a greater sense of security for all of our clients. As always, if you have any suggestions just let us know.

Thank you,

Gareth Hodson

HostedFX Web Hosting CEO.

The clients/order/support area for HostedFX has always been located at hostedfx.com/clients/ – but now I have decided to move it onto the domain of clients.hostedfx.com.

This is predominantly for two main reasons;

1. Having the area on a subdomain means we will be adding an SSL certificate to the clients area to make logging in/ordering even more secure.

2. We will soon (hopefully this week!) be offering Google Checkout as a payment method, so you will be able to choose between Google Checkout and PayPal in order to pay invoices. Additionally, Google Checkout happens to require an SSL certificate in order to use it…(see point 1).

Two simply reasons to further improve the whole HostedFX experience. Please let me know your thoughts on this, especially with regards to the new payment method of Google Checkout.

Thanks all,
Gareth

P.S you may still access the client area via hostedfx.com/clients, but in order to use it more securely from next week I strongly recommend using the subdomain of clients.hostedfx.com.

The forums are complete, and the homepage is almost complete – just a couple more subpages to sort out :)

The new professional look to HostedFX will hopefully welcome all visitors into our site. Nothing has changed with our service or support – it remains as great as it has ever been ;)

What do you guys think of the new look?
