Comodo announce extensions to hugely successful Instant SSL product range

24 June 2002

Today, Comodo, the Internet security specialist, has announced the release date of two new additions to the highly successful Instant SSL product range. InstantSSL™ Pro Certificates and PremiumSSL Wildcard Certificates are to be commercially available through www.instantSSL.com on 1st July 2002.

InstantSSL™ Pro has been introduced to bridge the gap in warranty provision between the basic warranty coverage of Instant SSL and the top-end warranty coverage of PremiumSSL. InstantSSL™ Pro Certificates carry a $1000 financial coverage warranty, considerably higher than the $50 attached to an Instant SSL Certificate, yet lower than the PremiumSSL Certificate warranty of $10,000.

"We have found that some of our customers would prefer a higher warranty to that provided through InstantSSL, yet do not necessarily need the high-end coverage provided by PremiumSSL," says Paul Tourret, Managing Director of Comodo Ltd, "InstantSSL™ Pro provides the middle ground required by a number of SSL customers."

PremiumSSL Wildcard are a cost-effective and efficient means of securing multiple websites with a single PremiumSSL Certificate. For organisations using a single domain name but host many different subdomains (e.g. secure.comodo.net, www.comodo.net, signup.comodo.net, products.comodo.net, login.comodo.net, etc), the wildcard Certificate is the easiest means of securing all sites without the need to manage multiple certificates.

"By introducing PremiumSSL Wildcard Certificates alongside our current product range, including the EPKI Manager, we ensure that all SSL requirements are fully identified and catered for", states Tourret.

Both InstantSSL™ Pro Certificates and PremiumSSL Wildcard Certificates are 128 bit SSL Certificates designed for securing leading web sites, as well as intranets and extranets. Trusted by over 95% of current Internet users, InstantSSL™ Pro Certificates and PremiumSSL Wildcard Certificate are the professional solution to securing webservers. InstantSSL™ Pro Certificates carry a warranty of $1000 and PremiumSSL Certificates carry a warranty of $10,000.

InstantSSL™ Pro Certificates will be available at $69 for a 1 year Certificate and PremiumSSL Wildcard Certificates will be available at $449 for a 1 year Certificate for a single physical server. Both InstantSSL™ Pro and Premium Wildcard Certificates will offer discounted pricing for multi-year and bulk purchases.

InstantSSL™ Pro and PremiumSSL Wildcard will be available from 1st July 2002 through www.instantSSL.com and our growing Reseller and Web Host networks.
