Hi,

I received the following from Geotrust today:


Yet another merger... what do you guys think?

I hope paypal (who bought verisign) isn't planning on locking everyone's geotrust accounts too

Fine, as long as they keep my $49 QuickSSL certs.... I have no love for Verisign though, so I would look for alternatives eventually.

PayPal does not own Verisign. PayPal purchased Verisign's payment portal unit.

Edit: For more information, see -

I hope they don't raise the SSL price to $500 dollars. :eek:

The market is on the move. It seems to be happening now everywhere, even in Finland one of the biggest webhosts recently acquired an other top five - hosting business. Interesting to see what will follow from all these mergers going on...

ifexist('merger') {
$prices = higher
}

For now, all we expect to see are faster and more frequent product roll-outs.

Not to dwell on an oft discussed topic, but any news on the possibility of discount pricing on wildcard SSL?

That's good to hear.

We expect to review the possibility of offering them through ResellOne.net at a wholesale prices, although I do not have an ETA on that right now.
