What SSL Certificate types are on offer from Geotrust?
There is a range of SSL Certificates from GeoTrust that can first be categorized into three groups:
Domain Validated
The GeoTrust Domain Validated range is suitable for individuals or organizations needing an SSL certificate fast and with a low cost.
You will only be required to prove ownership of your domain name prior to the SSL certificates' issuance. You can have your new Geo Trust SSL issued within 15 minutes from your ordering and configuration.
Business/Organisation Validated
The GeoTrust SSL Business validated range is for organisations needing to provide that extra level of trust to their customers. It will show your validated business details (such as your geolocation) in the SSL certificates, with the Site Seal showcasing extra information where needed.
Extended Validated
The GeoTrust True BusinessID Extended Validation SSL certificate range is suitable for organisations needing to show their visitors that they are a business in good standing and with all the appropriate registrations.

Customer Reviews
SSLTrust Review Ratings of 4.9/5 from 336 reviews. Read all review
I was utterly and totally confused, even buying the wrong type of SSL Certificate that I needed. Trying to work out the intricacies of Wildcard SSL for 3 Servers has been a two week adventure into an area of Domain security that I have never had to venture into in the past.Spending money with our registrar for SSL certs was the wrong way to go first up.Once I found SSL Trust, purchasing and setting up SSL was easy, I just didn't know enough about Sub domains and wildcards to get the right one.Emailing SSL Trust to gain assistance and clarity on what I needed on a Friday evening and having the best support and advice come back within the hour was quite simply, refreshing and unexpected. A bit of back and forth between Paul and myself sorted out any questions I had and gave me the instructions to get exactly what I needed - outstanding!Paul organised for the incorrect SSL to be cancelled and credited which was a nice bonus and helped me feel better that I hadn't wasted money on the wrong certificate unlike the registrar who can't cancel or credit.I won't be doing a lot of SSL Certificates in the future but I have found the one company that I will use when I need to, SSL Trust!
My company needed a code signing certificate as quickly as possible and had a tricky phone setup that was causing us a lot of grief with getting validation. Paul from SSL Trust helped us through it from the get-go with top notch support. Definitely recommend SSL Trust!
I had a great experience with SSLTrust. Paul was knowledgeable and helpful when answering my questions. As a result, I was able to successfully obtain a Code Signing Certificate. Highly recommended!
