GoDaddy.com, the World's No. 1 registrar of new domain names, announces the addition of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificates to its extensive product offering, offering online consumers the advantage of 128-bit encryption security at Go Daddy's recognized value pricing.
Go Daddy's secure certificates provide 128-bit encryption (the strongest encryption available on the market today for web server certificates). This guarantees that any sensitive information transmitted between a web browser and a website occurs over a secure, encrypted link and is protected at the highest level.
"Go Daddy's SSL certificates provide competitive advantages to online businesses by providing consumers with the assurance that their private and personal information is being encrypted during transmission," says Bob Parsons, president and founder of Go Daddy. "Consumers who are assured of security are more apt to purchase -- and continue to purchase -- through a company's secure web site."
Before issuing any certificate, Go Daddy's Registration Authority performs a rigorous authentication that includes both an automated application process followed-up by manual verification with corroboration through third party databases such as D & B. This provides online purchasers with the peace of mind that websites that display a Go Daddy certificate have been subjected to a reasonable validation to determine that they are in fact who they purport to be.
Go Daddy's validation effort contrasts sharply with other certificate issuing companies who charge significantly higher prices but provide little meaningful validation.
Go Daddy SSL Certificates are processed and delivered within a matter of hours. Compatible with 99 percent of the Web browsers on the market, Go Daddy's Certificates are currently listed at $49.95 per year or $99.90 for two years. Other companies charge as much as $895 per year for substantially the same product.
"Go Daddy's secure certificates offer online businesses a simple and incredibly cost-effective way to grow their sales by showcasing in a meaningful way that they care about their customer's information and peace of mind," says Parsons.
