What do you get?

Features for your new GeoTrust Certificate

Your new GeoTrust Certificate will be promptly issued upon finalising your order, configuration, and any necessary verification. It will have many features included from a premium SSL Authority.

Advanced 256-bit+ Encryption

256-bit encryption comes standard with additional options in the True BusinessID range. You can have larger Private Keys in Root and Intermediate Certificates and larger signatures in leaf certificates, including 512 and 384-bit. Additional support for ECC (Elliptical Curve Cryptography) keys allows for faster and enhanced security.

Full Browser and Device Support

You need all your customers to be able to connect to your service and website, no matter how old or new their devices are. GeoTrust SSL Certificates guarantee seamless connectivity across all major browsers and devices, with their root certificates trusted for 20+ years.

A Trusted Site Seal

Duplication with Multiple Keys

When multiple services and platforms all require your new Certificate for secure data transmissions, you want to keep them separate to reduce system compromise. GeoTrust True BusinessID SSL allows the duplication of your Certificates with different Private Keys and CSRs to allow separation and higher security.

Highest Warranty & Assurance

One of the main features of any SSL Certificate is the Certificate Authority's assurance and warranty. This level of warranty can reflect your confidence in any Certificate Authority, which is why GeoTrust has one of the highest available. With their warranty starting at $500,000 and going up to $1,500,000, you can trust their ability to provide the security you need.

WWW and None-WWW Secured

Ensure your domain is secured no matter how visitors type it in and browse your website. You will be covered via your domain's non-www and www versions for complete coverage at no additional cost. This free domain/SAN coverage also includes the GeoTrust Wildcard SSL Certificate and Multi-Domain Certificates

Free Unlimited Reissues

Update, edit, and remove the domains secured in your Certificate or re-key them when required. Do not worry about any additional fees or costs, as all re-issues are included for free.

Unlimited Server Installs

Secure all your services with unlimited server licenses. This allows you to easily and cost-effectively secure your complete setup. Coupled with GeoTrust's free duplication feature, you can have one of the most secure setups available.

Why choose GeoTrust?

About GeoTrust

Founded in 2001, GeoTrust Inc. swiftly emerged as a global leader in web security, offering a diverse array of products across 150 countries. Renowned for their stellar customer support, they gained recognition worldwide.

In 2006, VeriSign, a significant security provider, acquired GeoTrust, bringing them under the Symantec brand in 2010. This integration enabled GeoTrust to expand its product range and enhance its industry presence.

Today, GeoTrust is synonymous with trust and reliability, with its recognizable Site Seals signifying secure websites. Following the management transition to DigiCert in 2017, GeoTrust Global CA offers expedited organization validation, streamlining the certificate issuance process for swift deployment compared to competitors.

GeoTrust Trusted Root Certificates

GeoTrust's Trusted Root Certificates underwent a significant update on December 1, 2017, transitioning to the new Trusted Root TLS Certificate from DigiCert.

Leveraging a GeoTrust SSL/TLS Intermediate Certificate bolsters the security of your SSL Certificate. You can opt for a complete chain SHA-2, aligning with the industry's evolving standards, or an SHA-2 Certificate with SHA-1 Root for enhanced compatibility with older devices.

Your new GeoTrust order will require the following validations to issue the Certificate.

Business/Organisation Validation

( Business SSLs Only )

You must have your business details and the authorised contact verified. The Certificate Authority will check:

  • Organisation
    GeoTrust will check your country's registration authority to ensure the organisation is operational and in good standing.
  • Location & Address
    Your registered and listed address will be verified via approved online business directories such as DUNS, Google Business, Yellow Pages and more.
  • Approved Organisation Contact
    Your organisation's approved contact will have their identity verified to ensure they are authorised to issue certificates on behalf of the organisation.
  • Listed Phone Number
    The final step is for the Certificate Authority to call the verified number in the online business directory to speak to the approved contact.

Domain Validation

The domain validation proves you own and control the domain names in the certificate request. You can validate your domains via one of the following methods:

  • Email Address
    GeoTrust will send an email to one of the following emails on your domain: admin@, administrator@, webmaster@, hostmaster@ or postmaster@. It will contain a link to click and approve the request.
  • File-Based
    You must create a .txt file publicly accessible on your domain with the provided path and contents, ensuring a secure and reliable validation process.
  • DNS (TXT or CNAME)
    You can create a DNS CNAME or TXT record on your domain name.
