TEMPE,
Ariz., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) today announced the launch of 90-day
reissuance, fully installed and managed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
certificates with five encryption refreshes annually, making
GoDaddy the first certificate authority to offer this time-saving
solution.
SSL certificates are essential for anyone with a website,
especially small businesses, entrepreneurs and larger businesses.
They protect sensitive customer data and maintain trust in online
transactions. SSLs authenticate the identity of a website and
encrypt information sent to the server.
Currently, many SSLs purchased from certificate authorities
require manual re-installation over the lifecycle of a one-year
certificate. This process can be time-consuming, require external
support, and fall to the bottom of busy entrepreneurs' to-do lists.
Now, with a GoDaddy fully Managed SSL, a do-it-for-you service,
customers no longer need to worry about these cumbersome steps.
GoDaddy handles every aspect of SSL lifecycle management, from
installation to issuance and renewal—delivering effortless website
encryption and protection.
GoDaddy's 90-day SSL certificates automatically renew and
reinstall every three months, eliminating the manual steps
typically required by other SSL solutions. This fully automated
process not only reduces the burden for website owners but ensures
continuous protection without disruption.
While 90-day certificates are not yet an industry requirement,
GoDaddy recognizes the positive impact that SSLs with encryption
that is refreshed five times per year will have on its customers'
business growth and privacy concerns. This also takes into account
the role automation can play in ensuring the heavy lifting of
re-installing the certificate more frequently is in the hands of
the certificate provider. GoDaddy's managed SSL certificate
automates the entire process, meaning customers don't have to
manually select, install, or manage their 90-day SSL certificates,
while getting the benefit of five encryption refreshes,
annually.
"As a global leader in website security, with over 100 million
active SSL certificates, the introduction of automated 90-day SSL
certificates ahead of any industry requirements is another way that
GoDaddy is anticipating the needs of its customers and leading the
way," said Paul Bindel, president of
GoDaddy partners. "By automating SSL management, we're making
security easy for everyone, ensuring our customers stay ahead of
potential risks with minimal effort."
