Why does an Instant SSL Certificate cost considerably less compared to other Certification Authorities?
Instant SSL has direct access to the IdAuthority, the largest commercial directory on the web. Instant SSL can therefore expediate the validation of an application. This efficient and highly effective validation method ensures we can issue a Certificate at a greatly reduced cost as reflected through our guaranteed lowest price in the industry as well as maintain a level of validation far superior to the methods employed by other SSL providers. In particular, the validation process employed to issue an InstantSSL, Instant SSL Pro or PremiumSSL Certificate is considerably more than just a domain name ownership check – we firmly believe this method alone to be insufficient to maintain the level of integrity in SSL that consumers have come to expect.
