No frills, no fuss: get Domain Validation with Thawte today!

Though top-of-the-line SSL certificates might be enticing if you're a global enterprise client, it's always worth keeping in mind that this isn't always the case. Why spend a lot when you can get the cheaper, leaner option instead? This is precisely where the baseline SSL certificate from Thawte comes in: SSL123 Flexi.

Thawte SSL is one of the most aggressively priced contemporary SSL certificates, but what makes it really special is that you're not losing out on security in any way, shape, or form.

This Domain Validation SSL certificate has everything you need to establish your domain as a secure and trustworthy hotspot on the web, and you're only really losing out on extra features and amenities you may have otherwise received with a more expensive SSL certificate.

If you're just concerned with the encryption of aggregate data about site traffic on your end, then Thawte SSL will get you up and running in virtually no time at all. And - yes - Thawte SSL certificates are delivered in record times, and SSLTrust can have you properly secured with Domain Validation in mere minutes.

This same SSL certificate isn't just a universal security solution for single-domain protection, but you'll also get to protect your blog and/or business from fraudulent site instances. With Thawte, SSL security comes easy and cheap, which isn't something you can say about every modern SSL certificate.

One of the most affordable SSL certificates on the market

Thawte prides itself on its ability to issue rock-solid SSL certificates at remarkably low costs for the end-user. Their products are lean and purpose-built, with the ability to compile aggregate data and enact comprehensive encryption packages being the most important part of the equation.

Thawte's SSL123 Flexi SSL/TLS is a single-domain solution. You won't be able to use it to secure multiple websites or any additional domains next to your main one, but rest assured that your main domain will be encrypted from top to bottom.

By focusing on delivering an incredibly affordable SSL/TLS solution, Thawte needed to choose between cutting corners on security or on extra features. This resulted in a simplified SSL/TLS certificate that offers the best combination of security and affordability, but one that's still going to keep your sensitive information safe and sound.

Extremely flexible across the board

This domain validated SSL Certificate from Thawte can have your website, mail server, FTP server, or blog, secured more quickly than just about any other SSL solution on the market. The only thing it needs is to validate your domain name via a quick and easy email verification process.

This same certificate will deliver data encryption to your main domain, equip you with an immediately recognizable Site Seal, and still cost less than you probably expected it would. There is an upgraded Thawte Wildcard SSL certificate available, too, for users that have wildcard domains in place, or just want to be able to secure unlimited subdomains with a single certificate.

In effect, the SSL123 lineup is extremely flexible for a single certificate, especially one that's as affordable as this one is.

Rapid issuance and fast encryption packages

After your domain ownership had been thoroughly vetted and verified, you will be issued with your new SSL123 certificate within minutes, ready for immediate installation.

The entirety of Thawte's SSL123 lineup represents one of the most trusted and widely used SSLs available today, all coming from a brand that has been around and improving since the beginning: effectively one of the founders of contemporary online security.

With complete 256-bit encryption, your customers, visitors, and users will be secured and safe during all transactions performed with your business, school, or organization.

From the moment they see the lock icon in their browser, their confidence in your business authenticity and your stance on security will be understood, effectively translating to customer satisfaction. Combine this with the availability of a Thawte Site Seal, and you're getting the best combination of security and price for your one-domain setup.

Thawte: top security without breaking a bank

Thawte has issued over 1 million certificates in over 240 counties worldwide since 1995 and is an excellent choice when it comes to securing your website. The SSL123 SSL Certificate is backed by a $500,000 warranty, giving you peace in knowing that you and your users are protected.

This $500,000 warranty package also comes with a money-back guarantee, in case something goes amiss. With almost universal browser compatibility (including mobile browsers), Thawte's baseline SSL makes itself known as a flexible product applicable to most smaller websites on the Internet.

With this SSL123 Certificate you will be able to secure your base domain with the www. and without it (www.yourdomain.com + yourdomain.com). To ensure both are secure, be sure to generate your CSR for the www. version and this will have the non-www version included in your certificate by default.

Thawte SSL123 Flexi FAQ

SSL123 Flexi is Thawte's primary SSL/TLS product, designed specifically to target the affordable certificate niche. This security option serves up a remarkably fast issuance time - potentially the fastest on the market - alongside its low default asking price. That way, users that are interested in baseline security options don't need to break the bank in any way, shape, or form.

Though the certificate itself is remarkably flexible when it comes to single-domain protection and encryption, it is best used on small to mid-sized websites. For example, if you're gearing up to launch a hobby-tier website, or if you're just geting acquainted with being a webmaster on a small private or business website, SSL123 options will be the right choice.

Modern SSL/TLS certificates are built for efficacy and ease-of-use. Installing a Thawte SSL, then, is no different than installing any other standardized SSL certificate, the process of which begins with you generating your very own Certificate Signing Request. You can get your CSR done right here at SSLTrust, and the remainder of the process is reasonably simple. If you still find yourself at a loss on what to do, our team of security experts will be happy to handle the process for you.

As of 2000, DigiCert acquired the Thawte branding and brought the company under their umbrella as a value-oriented Certificate Authority. In practice, this means that any given Thawte SSL is effectively backed by DigiCert's own PKI format, and that you get to enjoy certain perks of using a DigiCert certificate even if you opt for a cheaper Thawte SSL/TLS solution.

I needed some help to complete the issuance of a SSL certificate. I contacted SSLTrust Support and was helped by Paul Baka. Paul was very knowledgeable and I was able to complete my certificate quickly. An excellent experience!

SSLTrust support is first rate. They assisted me with each issue I faced from the start of ordering a code-signing certificate through to actually receiving the certificate. I couldn't have hoped for more prompt support. I wish there were more Australian IT companies, and that have this level of care for their customers. Highly recommend to anyone needing such services.
