“We offer a secure web-based SQL manager powered by myLittleTools, and we support industry standard SQL authentication for our SQL hosting offering, but we wanted to provide our customers with an extra level of security,” said Takeshi Eto, VP Marketing and Business Development at DiscountASP.NET. “Our customers now have the option of using SSL encryption over the line when connecting with their SQL databases on our SQL hosting platform.”

With this security enhancement, DiscountASP.NET customers can use SQL Management Studio and use the “Encrypt Connection” option when connecting to their database.
