Simply excellent service and great value for money

The renewal cost for my EV cert from another supplier was almost double the cost of TrustIco, so switching was a no-brainer.

I got a bit lost during the order process, but the TrustIco staff were on the other end of a live-chat support tool on the site and were prompt and very helpful. The same level of support was available when the fax for acknowledgement of EV cert responsibilities failed to transmit clearly and they provided clear instruction for an alternative way to provide the data.

The automatically generated emails that show progress of the order aren't pretty, but they contain good instruction and so long as you read them from top to bottom they make sense.

I saved £100 for my employer, so I am especially happy!

Hi n____, thank you for your feedback.

Trustico® offers a high quality service, issuing most SSL Certificate products within minutes and with ease.

I am unsure when you reference the certificate was incomplete and documentation was incorrect.
Our SSL Certificates are issued based on a CSR provided by the customer (or generated by our system), the returned / issued SSL Certificate will match the provided CSR and be a complete SSL ready to be installed.
Dependant on the product type, some orders will require further documentation be provided in line with industry guidelines and standards.
Please be sure to contact us directly should we be able to assist further.

Terrible interface for regular customers

Despite having an account with Trustico and purchasing several certificates a month, we still have to enter all the same details into the order form every time. Why can't we login and use the same details like you can do with any other E-commerce service and also be able to renew certificates with the click of a button. Come on Trustico, give us a proper customer control panel and simplify the ordering process please!

Hi James Cameron-Williams,
Thank you for your feedback.

If you have a Trustico account this would mean you are a Trustico reseller account holder.

When placing an order through a reseller panel, our interface allows the Technical Contact information to be pre-populated with the Reseller's contact information as the reseller would in most cases be the technical contact for their clients.
Admin contact information must be re-entered each time as the end user for each order, again in most cases, will change from one order to the next.

Trustico is currently looking at offering a "duplicate" / "pre-populate" option for retail customers and resellers alike.

Please be sure to contact us directly should further information or assistance be required.

Rubbish. Waste of time

I ordered a certificate. Went though the whole setup and then was denied at the end for the free certificate.
However, I was told I could still pay for one.
Waste of time and energy.
My opinion is the free certificate is just a scam to get you to pay for one. There is no such thing as a free cert.

Hi Alan Staunton, thank you for your feedback.

Fee Trial SSL Certificates are available and are issued using the same verification method and system as full production Domain Validated SSL Certificates.

Your Free Trial SSL Certificate may not have been approved / issued by GeoTrust / RapidSSL as it may have been requested for a domain which was flagged within the authentication system for review.
Due to a high volume of Free Trial orders placed daily, manual review is unfortunately not conducted for Free Trial orders.

We would like to assist with your SSL Certificate needs and welcome you to contact us directly should further information or assistance be required.

Simple, Straightforward, Inexpensive

I needed a new certificate in a hurry for a work site providing remote exchange access so I just wanted something that would satisfy the browser and various remote exchange clients (iPad, Android). Found Trustico via Google without great expectations but everything worked fist time and with ease. In the words of General MacArthur, I shall return to Trustico when I next need a certificate.

Verisign Upsell confusing

When I recently ordered a Geotrust SSL - I got an email saying that I could upgrade to Verisign and all the reasons I should. I found this really confusing (for a mere no techie mortal) - for the following reasons
1) You say that its an upgrade - so I assumed - I could pay a bit extra and get the verisign logo - but thats not the case - you would cancel my order and supply me with a new Verisign SSL
2) After half an hour with your chat line - your adviser had already told me what SSL I needed
So I really dont understand this upsell at all - seems completely pointless and confusing to us - your non techie customers.

great service for renewals etc

the service i recieved from the UK division was impeccable. I only deal with one Representative and she knows exactly what we need, epecially when we had to transfer over to another service provider whilst going through the renewal of Geo+EV certificate, was done very quickly with little fuss.

Fast, easy and helpful great service

I needed a ssl certificate for my new exchange server (first time I've set one up so I needed a fair bit of assistance in choosing the right product and setting it all up) and Trustico were fast helpful and easy to work with and also offered good technical support for the installation of the SSL certificate.

Cheap certificate, lack of information

It took me ages to find out how to compile the certificate into one CA bundle file.
In the email, the only CA certificate was Rapid SSL but there was no root.
GeoTrust certificate was hard to find.
I guess you made it hard for standard users to do it so you could sell them some support.
Anyway I've done it myself. I suppose I'm satisfied with the cost of my certificate.

Hi Clement Gonnet, thank you for your feedback.

Trustico, within its fulfilment e-mails, include the required Intermediate CA Certificate. The CA Root Certificate is not provided as the Root, in most cases is already located on the server if server software is kept up to date.
Links to the CA Root Certificates can be found within installation guides available from the support section of our website.

Trustico provide a Premium Installation Service at an extra cost where we will complete the installation for you however standard and general technical support is provided free of charge.

If you require assistance with Root Certificate or Bundles we ask you please contact our support staff who are ready to assist where required. If further information is needed, please contact us directly.

Quick, Easy and Saved me money.

I used Trustico to purchase a basic SSL Certificate for my E-commerce website. The Trustico website was easy to use and instructions were available to suit my Plesk Management system.

I also saved about 50% of the price compared to buying the SSL certificate direct from the issuer.

The system was quick to send me e-mails and I had the certificate installed in under 15 minuets, with all the instructions provided. Very happy with my purchase. Would recommend.
