Go Daddy Records Phenomenal Growth with SSL Certificates

Go Daddy Clearly Dominating Marketplace

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Go Daddy is achieving monumental growth with its SSL certificate sales and now has more than 65 percent market share on all net-new SSL Certificates worldwide.

In the February Netcraft Ltd. report, the leading industry analyst states Go Daddy issued 9,500 SSL certificates in a one month period.

“I think the reason for our growth is simple,” said GoDaddy.com CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “Our certs are priced right and they are as good as or better than any on the market. Why would anyone pay more than four times the price for the very same thing?”

Go Daddy SSL Certificates offer the same functionality and the same top-notch security as higher priced competitors – but at Go Daddy it costs one-fourth the price and comes with industry-best support.

Cost is a logical reason why the ‘old guard’ provider is losing ground each time a new survey publishes. Right now, VeriSign not only charges more than four times as much as Go Daddy for an SSL Certificate, but VeriSign also requires customers to purchase a cert for each server being used. All Go Daddy certificates include an unlimited server license, meaning one Certificate can be used on multiple servers, potentially saving companies thousands of dollars above and beyond the base price.

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate enables encryption of online transactions and communications. GoDaddy.com SSL Certificates are offered in three assurance validation levels: Standard, Deluxe and Premium Extended Validation SSL.
