And best of all, this speedy service comes at no additional charge or configuration requirements for GlobalSign customers. After integrating the technology of these companies, GlobalSign has been able to increase load speeds by as much as six times that of traditional SSL. The hope is that by noticeably improving the performance of SSL-secured Web pages, the company will foster wider acceptance and adoption of SSL certificates that help Web businesses reduce the risk of data breaches, compromised sites and, most important, customer identity theft and fraud.

Survey Says: Go Daddy #1 SSL Certificate Provider

Michael Garrity — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:00:00 GMT

More customers secured online data transactions through Go Daddy than any other certificate authority last month, so says the latest Netcraft Secure Server Survey.

Despite all of the recent hooplah and talk of a "boycott," Go Daddy still showed the most market growth in January, ultimately acquiring over 19,000 certificates, mostly in the Extended Validation (EV) certificate market.

Since starting to offer SSL certificates back in 2003, Go Daddy has held a respectable presence in the industry; just last July, the company surpassed the threshold of 500,000 certificates under its management.

Go Daddy offers certificates with unlimited server licenses and installation support, as well as Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) with Premium SSL certificates.
