The only way I can think is if Nokia operate their own CA and configure the phones to trust it. They then issue their own certificate for any site you visit which your phone will trust. I don't think that's what is happening, we need furthe

Compared to the amount of work involved after unscheduled power loss in a data centre yes. Been there done that, and I would defiantly haul buckets of diesel for 12 hours rather than spent the next months sorting out systems that had not re

Hosting companies are in the business of selling servers. In my experience most customers dedicated servers are hugely underutilised but they only get the higher level of support or service if they take out dedicated tin.
