- Fully owned roots. GeoTrust owns all of its roots, and as a result, all of our certificates offer the highest level of stability. Unlike other companies which issue certificates off chained roots or license roots from third parties, GKG.NET is able to offer customers an assurance of root stability throughout the lifetime of every certificate.
- 99%+ browser ubiquity. QuickSSL certificates are issued off of one of the world’s most trusted roots. They deliver ubiquitous recognition with leading servers and 99%+ web browser recognition.
- Unlimited reissues. GKG.NET provides a quick and easy way to reissue any lost certificate. Certificates may need to be reissued when upgrading or changing server software or operating platform; if migrating your site from one server to another, or If an existing private key has been lost, destroyed or otherwise inadvertently overwritten.
- Competitive trade-in program. GKG.NET provides a simple way to upgrade from another vendor’s certificates or transition multiple certificates from disparate certificate vendors. The competitive trade-in program allows you to retain the full value of existing certificate investments, by adding the remaining validity period of any active vendor certificates to your new certificates — up to 12 additional free months depending on when your current certificate expires.
- Automatic renewal reminders and early renewal options. With QuickSSL, administrators are automatically notified when their certificates are close to expiration, so certificates are always valid. GKG.NET also allows administrators to renew certificates up to 90 days early and receive up to three months credit on new certificates.
- Customer support options. QuickSSL offers optional support services for those customers that need assistance installing and maintaining their certificates.
