SSL Certificates Delivered Fast and Cost-Effectively
Unlike other SSL products, you don't have to wait days to get your certificates — GeoTrust
will issue your QuickSSL certificate in about 10 minutes with GeoTrust ’s fully
automated authentication and issuance process. This process verifies that a certificate
purchaser has appropriate administrative rights to a web server's domain.
This greatly lowers our costs for issuing QuickSSL certificates, and we pass
those savings on to you.
Plus, QuickSSL includes a site seal. This prominently displayed GeoTrust from
Planet Hosting QuickSSL Premium site seal guarantees online visitors they will receive the
highest level of encryption possible. Our innovative seal assures online customers that credit
card account numbers and other confidential information cannot be intercepted or altered.
QuickSSL Certificate Features and Benefits Include:
- Fully owned roots. GeoTrust owns all of its roots, and as a result, all of our certificates offer the highest level of stability. Unlike other companies which issue certificates off chained roots or license roots from third parties, GeoTrust is able to offer customers an assurance of root stability throughout the lifetime of every certificate.
- 99%+ browser ubiquity. QuickSSL Premium certificates are issued off of one of the world’s most trusted roots. They deliver ubiquitous recognition with leading servers and 99%+ web browser recognition.
- Unlimited, free self-service reissues. GeoTrust provides a quick and easy way to reissue any lost certificate at no charge. Certificates may need to be reissued when upgrading or changing server software or operating platform; if migrating your site from one server to another, or If an existing private key has been lost, destroyed or otherwise inadvertently overwritten. After re-validating certificate information online, the new certificate is issued immediately and is valid from the date of reissue until the original expiration date.
- Competitive trade-in program. GeoTrust provides a simple way to upgrade from another vendor’s certificates or transition multiple certificates from disparate certificate vendors. The competitive trade-in program allows you to retain the full value of existing certificate investments, by adding the remaining validity period of any active vendor certificates to your new GeoTrust certificates — up to 12 additional free months depending on when your current certificate expires.
- Online Access to Your Business Profile. As part of the provisioning process with QuickSSL Premium, your business will be registered with ChoicePoint, the nation's leading provider of identification and credential verification services. With access to the corporate profile, customers can be confident conducting business online.
- Multi-year certificates. QuickSSL Premium is available in multi-year validity periods at significant cost savings. Plus, you avoid the process of renewing certificates every year.
- Automatic renewal reminders and early renewal options. With QuickSSL Premium, administrators are automatically notified when their certificates are close to expiration, so certificates are always valid. GeoTrust also allows administrators to renew certificates up to 90 days early and receive up to three months credit on new certificates.
- Customer support options. QuickSSL Premium offers optional customer support services for those customers that need assistance installing and maintaining their certificates.
Highest Standards for Certificate Practices and Physical Security
GeoTrust provides the highest assurance of trust to all its customers. GeoTrust maintains
compliance with WebTrust, a comprehensive third-party auditing process which signifies
that GeoTrust meets the highest standards for issuing and managing digital certificates.
GeoTrust also leverages the best possible physical infrastructure and network security to
maintain customer accounts and certificate data. Our state of the art hosting facilities are
fully redundant and hardened data and network operations centers that meet stringent
WebTrust standards for physical and network access control. Independent security auditors
also carefully scrutinize the physical systems, the software configurations and the processes
and procedures used by all GeoTrust personnel.
Competitive Replacement Offer
If your enterprise has already purchased a competitor’s SSL certificates (Verisign, Thawte,
Baltimore, Entrust), not to worry. GeoTrust will honour the months remaining on those
certificates by simply adding them to the term on your new GeoTrust certificates.
