Network Solutions - one of the Biggest SSL Certificate Providers

Network Solutions® is now the fourth largest provider of SSL certificates to ecommerce clients and other businesses that need high levels of Web site security according to the Netcraft® Secure Server Survey, leading Web solutions provider.

The Netcraft Secure Server Survey, which examines the use of encrypted transactions on the Web, uses extensive automation to answer a number of relevant questions.

While the leading SSL provider is still VeriSign®, Network Solutions is a solid player in the marketplace, and seeks to continue to grow the SSL business both within and outside of its existing customer base.

“The need for SSL certificates is essential in a number of business areas,” said Susan Wade of Network Solutions. “Any business that conducts transactions online, whether they are collecting payment information or private data from customers, can be well served by the Website security offered by SSL certificates.”

Network Solutions offers four types of SSL certificates. The Basic level applies to a single domain and guarantees up to $50,000. The Pro and Wildcard options offer an up to $1 million guarantee and are generally issued within one business day. The Wildcard option lets customers protect an unlimited number of sub-domains with one certificate. The newest certificate in Network Solutions portfolio is Extended Validation. This certificate offers the highest levels of independent verification that your site is legitimate and turns the browser bar green, providing an extra signal to customers that they can transact safely.

Wade added, “SSLs increase customer confidence in your Web site security as well as provide a comprehensive validation of your business credentials. Confidence leads to increased conversions, making the SSL an essential part of many online businesses.”
