Comodo InstantSSL Certificates:

Domain Plus Hosting offers to our customers the complete range of Comodo InstantSSL Certificates, which are standard 128 / 256-Bit SSL Certificates designed for securing Intranets, Extranets and public Websites. Trusted by over 99.3% of current Internet browser sessions, Comodo InstantSSL Certificates are an ideal and low cost way of securing your webserver.

Fully Trust Validated:

All Comodo InstantSSL products provide 128-Bit industry standard validation of both the identity and legitimacy of the company as a legal entity and/or the domain name ownership. This is done even if the certificate is intended for internal use only and maximizes customer confidence in the security of the website. Without sufficient validation SSL certificates are simply encryption certificates, so weak validation undermines why a CA must be a trusted entity - why should companies pay for an untrustworthy certificate that consumers inadvertently trust? 

Fast Issuance Without the Compromise of Quality:

Thanks to the revolutionary capabilities of IdAuthority, the identity assurance provider, the majority of Comodo InstantSSL Certificates can be issued instantly but without the need to compromise the level of validation. The result is a quickly issued yet trusted Certificate that does not undermine consumer confidence with the SSL protocol.

Trusted by all Popular Browsers:

Your browser ubiquity is a key element when choosing an SSL provider. Comodo InstantSSL is inherently trusted by 99.3% of the current Internet population. This makes Comodo InstantSSL as equally trusted as more expensive Certificates from Verisign and Thawte.

Up to $250,000 Warranty:

We believe it is important to protect the end user; most importantly, we value our validation techniques. A range of warranty levels is available, from $10,000 to $250,000, depending on the SSL Certificate chosen. We believe the insurance provided gives greater peace of mind to the customer.

30-Day Refund & Reissue Policy:

Provided as standard, at no charge, on all Comodo InstantSSL Certificates. This allows customers to not be penalized for making mistakes when submitting SSL Certificate requests.

Phone, E-mail / Ticket, and Web / Chat Support:

As a valued Domain Plus Hosting SSL Certificate customer you can expect toll-free telephone, e-mail / ticket, and web / chat support for any issues you may face or questions you may have, during any stage of applying for, installing, or using your SSL Certificate. These support channels are provided for all SSL Certificate products sold by Domain Plus Hosting.

Free TrustLogo:

Comodo InstantSSL Pro and PremiumSSL Certificates comes with a FREE TrustLogo (worth $119). Providing your customers with real-time identity assurance through convenient "point to verify" technology, TrustLogo enhances trust and confidence in your online identity and gives customers the confidence to buy from your site.

Free SecuritySpace Audit:

A free security vulnerability assessment, which performs a full-blown standard security audit on your system. The report will provide the number of vulnerabilities that are found in High and Medium risk categories, as well as the details of Low risk and Other vulnerabilities.

Cost Effective Pricing & Term Discounts:

Comodo InstantSSL Certificates remain the only low-cost, fully validated, fully supported SSL Certificates available today. To help customers avoid the hassle of renewing every year, we also offer discounts of up to 20% for pre-payment of 2 to 5-Year SSL Certificates.

Q) Why does a Comodo InstantSSL Certificate from Domain Plus Hosting cost considerably less than other Certification Authorities?

A) Comodo InstantSSL has direct access to the IdAuthority, the largest commercial directory on the web. Comodo InstantSSL can therefore expedite the validation of an application. This efficient and highly effective validation method ensures we can issue a Certificate at a greatly reduced cost as reflected through our guaranteed lowest price in the industry, as well as, maintain a level of validation far superior to the methods employed by other SSL providers. In particular, the validation process employed to issue an Instant SSL, Pro SSL, Premium SSL, or Wildcard SSL Certificate is considerably more than just a domain name ownership check - we firmly believe this method alone to be insufficient to maintain the level of integrity in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that consumers have come to expect... so we employ full business identity verification for this range of SSL Certificates.

Q) What does the Warranty actually mean?

A) We believe it is important to protect the end user. If we were to mis-issue a certificate to a fraudulent site, and that fraudulent site has an SSL link with an end user and as a result of this the end user loses money. The end user had what they thought was a "trusted session". Comodo should never have provided the fraudster with the ability to engineer this situation. Hence, we have taken out insurance to pay out money to the end user, in such an unlikely event. How can we do this?

1. We value the end customer.
2. We believe the insurance provided greater peace of mind hence allows the merchant to sell more products.
3. Most importantly, we value our validation techniques (delivered through the IDAuthority).

We pre-validate customers and provide validation that is far higher than the majority of other SSL providers. Some CA's have very weak validation hence they decide NOT to offer insurance! Finally, it is worth pointing out, that we offer high validation, but not at the compromise of speed. You can still obtain our SSL Certificates instantly. See the warranty offered on each of our SSL Certificates.

Q) Why do you ask for documentation when I apply for a certificate?

A) Comodo recognizes that strong validation is essential for the continuing growth of ecommerce. Before issuing a certificate we validate both that the applicant owns, or has legal right to use, the domain name featured in the application; and secondly that the applicant is a legitimate and legally accountable business entity. To do this we need to have access to certain documentation which verifies these two factors.

Q) I have changed my server, or moved to a different provider, what happens to my SSL Certificate now?

A) Each Comodo InstantSSL Certificate sold by Domain Plus Hosting is backed by an Unlimited Re-issuance Policy; which means that you need only to generate a new Certificate Sigining Request (CSR), and we will re-issue the SSL Certificate for use on the new hosting server.
