OpenSRS Announces Industry Best Wholesale Pricing on Extended Validation SSL

- Also adds new Subject Alternative Name (SAN) SSL certificates -

TORONTO, Sept. 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Tucows Inc. (NYSE AMEX:TCX) (TSX:TC), a global provider of domain names and other Internet services, today announced significantly reduced pricing for resellers on Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates through its OpenSRS wholesale Internet services division. 

OpenSRS resellers will immediately benefit from the lowest published wholesale list prices on Symantec Secure Site Pro with EV, GeoTrust True BusinessID with EV, Thawte SSL Web Server with EV, Trustwave Extended Validation SSL with EV, and Comodo EV SSL certificates.

"We're taking this leadership role on Extended Validation SSL pricing because we strongly believe the advantages of EV should be accessible to a wider range of potential users," said Dave Woroch, EVP Sales, OpenSRS. "Our resellers will now be able to offer the benefits of EV SSL to more of their small- and mid-sized business customers and, in turn, consumers will benefit from the increased protection that EV SSL provides." 

In addition to lower EV SSL pricing, OpenSRS also announced the addition of new Subject Alternative Name (SAN) SSL certificates from Symantec, GeoTrust and Thawte. These products are often used to secure Unified Communications (UC) servers including Microsoft Exchange and allow for multiple domain names to be added to a single SSL certificate. 

The addition of SAN certificates further ensures that OpenSRS resellers are able to provide the appropriate SSL certificate for their customers no matter the brand, type, price point or level of protection required.
