InstantSSL is launched and is set to quickly become a driving force in fast, cost effective SSL Certificates for the mass market

27 February 2002

Today, Comodo, the Internet security specialist, have launched Instant SSL - a fast track and cost effective SSL Certificate service. Instant SSL is one of the growing number of X.509 digital certificate based products available through the Comodo Certification Authority (CA), joining both standard SSL Certificates and TrustToolbar Certificates in the Comodo certificate portfolio.

InstantSSL Certificates are guaranteed to be the most cost effective 128bit SSL certificates available today. At only $49 for 1 year, and multiyear options of $89 for 2 years and $125 for 3 years, Instant SSL Certificates are a fraction of the price of comparable certificates from other CAs. Being technically identical to certificates issued by other CAs, Instant SSL Certificates are a new driving force in the widespread availability and affordability of SSL security for web servers.

The fast turnaround on an Instant SSL Certificate application is achieved through ready and direct access to the TrustToolbar directory - the largest directory on the web. Company and website validation processes and policies are already operational for the TrustToolbar system, allowing Comodo to leverage its investment in the directory for other certificate applications. This unique resource allows the majority of certificate applications to be processed in minutes rather than days.

The recent partnership with GlobalSign, the Brussels based CA, ensures that the Comodo root certificate is widely trusted by the majority of Internet users. All Internet Explorer 5.01 and above and Netscape 4.7 and above browser users will already inherently trust Instant SSL Certificates.

Comodo has also launched PremiumSSL Certificates available at $99, $164 and $199 for 1 year, 2 years and 3 years validity period respectively. PremiumSSL Certificates comprise a full $10,000 warranty for complete commercial peace of mind.
