Comodo announce extensions to hugely successful InstantSSL product range
24 June 2002

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

BudgetSSL™ has been introduced to bridge the gap in warranty provision between the basic warranty coverage of InstantSSL and the top-end warranty coverage of PremiumSSL. BudgetSSL™ Certificates carry a $1000 financial coverage warranty, considerably higher than the $50 attached to an InstantSSL 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, "BudgetSSL™ 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.securessl.co.uk, www.securessl.co.uk, signup.securessl.co.uk, products.securessl.co.uk, login.securessl.co.uk, 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 BudgetSSL™ 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 99% of current Internet users, BudgetSSL™ Certificates and PremiumSSL Wildcard Certificate are the professional solution to securing webservers. BudgetSSL™ Certificates carry a warranty of $1000 and PremiumSSL Certificates carry a warranty of $10,000.

BudgetSSL™ 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 BudgetSSL™ and Premium Wildcard Certificates will offer discounted pricing for multi-year and bulk purchases.

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