Hosting SSL? But are you selling the SSL you host?

Many hosting companies usually find they already host anything from 10 to 10,000 SSL Certificates.  Unless these SSL Certificates are bought directly from the hosting companies themselves, it is lost potential revenue. Hosting companies who offer SSL Certificates in their hosting packages or as a value add option gain the immediate benefits of increased revenues and a more complete and “sticky” product portfolio.

    • 2048 bit future proof THE STRONGEST ROOT CERTIFICATE AVAILABLE TODAY In 1998, GlobalSign had the foresight to create a strong Root Certificate by using 2048 bit RSA keys. This makes the GlobalSign Root Certificate the most widely distributed Certification Authority to already meet the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) recommendation that from 2011 onwards all cryptographic keys should be 2048 bit in strength. Anything less than 2048 bit will most likely be deemed insecure, which has prompted the CA/Browser Forum to insist that all Extended Validation SSL Certificates are to be 2048 bit from the 1st January 2009 in anticipation.

      GlobalSign provides 2048 bit strength across the entire Digital Certificate portfolio.
