GeoTrust, thawte, VeriSign brands and Extended Validation and Code-signing certs added

Starting today, OpenSRS Resellers can now sell 16 different SSL certificates from three of the world’s leading SSL certificate providers. We’ve added a range of products from both thawte and VeriSign in addition to the GeoTrust-branded products you could sell through us until now.

On top of the new brands, we’re also adding some new types of SSL certificates, including Extended Validation (EV) and code-signing certs to the mix. Full details and pricing is available on our website. As with our GeoTrust products, Resellers can take advantage of the super pricing we’ve negotiated with these certificate providers.

Are you Selling SSL Certificates?

If you aren’t yet selling SSL certificates, now is a great time to add them to your product lineup. These days security is top of mind with businesses and consumers alike, and SSL certificates bring that peace of mind to consumers, allowing them to complete transactions and share personal information with confidence.

A long-standing misconception around SSL certificates is that they are only really needed where financial information is being passed between computer and webserver. But the reality is that an SSL certificate is a must in any application where valuable data is being passed. That includes everything from forum logins, to email servers, to ecommerce and control panels. If the data on the other side of the login has value (and it probably does, or it wouldn’t be protected by a login), then that data should be encrypted and protected by an SSL connection.

Reseller Webinar

We’re planning a webinar for our Resellers in the next month or two with our friends at VeriSign. They’ll be bringing you some great information on how you can integrate SSL certificates into your product lineup and how you can maximize your sales. Expect to hear more about that shortly.
