(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) – Security solutions provider Comodo (www.comodo.com) and Web hosting provider HostDime (www.hostdime.com) announced on Wednesday that the companies have partnered to offer discounts on Comodo’s SSL certificates with an annual purchase of any SSL certificate for a limited time.
“We are pleased to partner with HostDime by providing their customers with an extraordinary value for SSL Certificates that has never before been available to consumers in order to create trust online and make Internet security affordable to all,” James Langman, vice president of business development, Comodo, said in a statement.
This offer prices the new Essential SSL certificates at $20 a year down from $50 a year. The companies say all new customers who register any shared hosting plan get an SSL certificate included with the plan of their choice.
“We are joining Comodo in this endeavor because we have come to admire and respect the ongoing work that Comodo has achieved in the security space and know that by combining forces we will be able to achieve our common goal while providing exceptional customer value in the process,” Usman Arshad, director business development at HostDime said.
According to the press release, any customer with an SSL certificate from another provider are eligible to switch to a Comodo certificate and HostDime will add one extra year, for a total of two years, for the one year price.
As part of this offer, Comodo’s Instant SSL certificates are now $50, down from $79.
Earlier this month, Comodo acquired DNS.com and launched its Authoritative DNS service.
