SSL certificates by Thawte

Thawte

Founded in South Africa, Thawte quickly became the leading certificate authority outside the United States, and the first to sell SSL certificates internationally. Thawte was acquired by Verisign in 2000, and has remained a key member of the Symantec family ever since. In 2004, Thawte was the first authority to support Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), allowing people over the world to surf the web securely in their own language.

Advantages


  • Cosmopolitic outlook
  • Site Seal avavailable in 18 languages
  • Established certificate authority

Thawte has an uniquely international outlook, and not even the acquisition by an American corporation could change this. Thawte has an established reputation in Asia, and could be youe certificate authority of choice if you're reaching for a global audience.

The differences


  • Secures both www and non-www
  • Unlimited server licences
  • Restricted product offer

's opinion


Ever since Thawte decided to follow its competitors' leads in offering unlimited server licences and free www / non-www on a single certificate, it has once again become a viable option for mid-range SSL, and an alternative of better repute for Comodo and GeoTrust.
