GeoTrust
What it is
GeoTrust Horizon is a security platform offering SSL certificates, certificate automation, SSL monitoring, and vulnerability management. GeoTrust says it is designed for small and medium businesses and fast-moving builders. Its DV, OV, and EV certificates are issued from DigiCert trusted roots. AutoInstall SSL automates installation, re-issuance, and renewal for Apache, NGINX, IIS, LiteSpeed, cPanel, Kubernetes, Docker, and more. When enabled, automatic renewal occurs 28 days before expiry.
SSL Monitor checks domains and subdomains daily for expiring certificates, trust issues, HTTPS vulnerabilities, and more than 110 SSL issues. Vulnerability Manager scans servers daily for more than 375,000 vulnerabilities and provides remediation instructions; it offers internal scans with an installed agent and external scans without installation. GeoTrust says it uses vulnerability detection technology from Qualys. SSL Monitor costs $2 a month per standard domain, and Vulnerability Manager costs $12 a month per server. Certificate choices include QuickSSL Premium at $192 a year, TrueBusiness ID at $372 a year, and TrueBusiness ID with EV at $540 a year. Technical chat support is available 24/7, with email tickets and phone support five days a week.
