SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (September 15, 2004) – The Go Daddy Group, Inc., parent company of GoDaddy.com, the No. 1 registrar of new domain names, announced today the addition of Turbo Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to its extensive SSL certificate product line—offering secure, trusted, high-level encryption to all Web site owners.
Priced at $29.95 and processed in minutes, Go Daddy’s Turbo SSL certificates provide all companies the ability to purchase security at 128-bit encryption—the strongest encryption available on the market today for Web server certificates—at an affordable price. Now, Go Daddy customers can purchase an SSL to match the life of their domain name, from one up to 10 years.
“Until Go Daddy entered the market, only large companies could really afford to offer their customers secure online transactions because only large companies could afford the cost of having an SSL certificate,” says Bob Parsons, president and founder of Go Daddy. “Now, Go Daddy’s Turbo SSL certificates provide online businesses the competitive advantage that comes with having a secure connection but at one-tenth of the current standard market price.”
Go Daddy’s Turbo SSL is offered through a WebTrust-accredited Root Certification Authority, meaning the Company is not reliant on another company’s root infrastructure to deliver trusted SSL certificates. The Turbo SSL certificates can be purchased completely online at www.godaddy.com. Turbo SSL certificates are compatible with 99 percent of the Web browsers on the market, and provide warranty protection and 24/7 live customer support
“Go Daddy responds to our customers’ needs. Our Turbo SSL certificates are a response to customers seeking web server certificates from a trusted company at an affordable price,” says Parsons.
