*📜 Plan description
Geotrust True BusinessID Wildcard brings together organisation validation and wildcard coverage, targeting businesses that need to secure many subdomains while also showing verified company identity in the certificate.
The issuing authority checks both domain ownership and organisation details, a process that usually takes one to three days, and then issues a wildcard certificate that can be installed on multiple subdomains under the same base domain, such as secure, portal, login and intranet.
It is pitched as suitable for business and ecommerce uses where internal and customer facing services share a common domain and where it is helpful for users and auditors to see that the certificate holder is a known company rather than an anonymous domain owner.
The specification lists 256 bit encryption, a substantial warranty in the 1.25 million US dollar range, a trust site seal, broad browser support and free reissues, making it a powerful tool for consolidating security across a whole set of related host names.
Pricing in the store is set at 589.00 per year in the local billing currency, reflecting both the organisation validation work and wildcard capability.
All certificate options in this store are issued by leading certificate authorities and use strong 256 bit encryption with 2048 bit keys, modern browser compatibility and industry standard validation workflows.
Purchasing a certificate here gives you access to a management area where you can generate certificate signing requests, complete domain and organization validation, download issued certificates and reissue them at no extra charge when you change servers or need to adjust details.
Marketing information emphasises the presence of a graphical trust site seal that can be embedded in pages to reassure visitors, warranty coverage that can run into hundreds of thousands or even millions of US dollars depending on the product, and near universal browser and device support for desktop and mobile users.
Detailed feature sections explain how SSL protects login pages, online stores, control panels and application interfaces by encrypting data in transit, reducing the chance that credentials or financial information can be intercepted, and also note that search engines treat HTTPS as a signal in ranking algorithms, so deploying a certificate can contribute to better visibility.
All SSL offerings are sold through the same billing platform as other services from this host, so you can pay conveniently using major credit cards or PayPal, manage renewals alongside hosting and domain services, and receive assistance from the Canadian support team if you run into installation, CSR generation or configuration questions.

📄 Editorial Review
BlackSun is a veteran Canadian hosting brand with roots going back to 1998, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and operating as a division of VDC Virtual Data Corp under the wider MSP Corp umbrella. Over time they have shifted from being "just" a shared hosting provider into more of a regional cloud and infrastructure specialist, while still keeping a clear focus on Canadian data residency and support.At the front of the catalogue are classic cPanel shared hosting plans aimed at small and medium websites. These are built on SSD storage, include free SSL as standard, one-click WordPress installs, a multi-layer security stack and full daily off-site backups using Veeam with roughly 30 days of restore history. The smallest plan is limited to a single site; higher tiers allow unlimited websites on one account and scale storage up into the hundreds of gigabytes, with some marketing copy referring to capacities up to 1 TB.
WordPress gets a dedicated spotlight through their WP Premium Hosting range. Here BlackSun essentially takes the shared stack and cranks it up: more CPU/RAM and SSD storage, higher bandwidth allocations, a hardened environment (CloudLinux, KernelCare, Imunify360, dual firewalls and reinforced DDoS protection), plus cPanel, Softaculous and a 99.995% uptime target. These plans are clearly aimed at agencies, busy WordPress sites and organisations that want managed WordPress on Canadian infrastructure rather than on a generic global platform.
Above that, they move into cloud and VPS territory. CloudLinux VPS packages emphasise isolation, cPanel/WHM and the same KernelCare/Imunify security approach, but are quoted more as customised builds than as public price tables. Under the broader VDC Cloud Services banner they go further: fully managed virtual servers, Remote Desktop Services, SQL/SharePoint/Exchange application servers, Veeam Cloud backup, firewall/VPN services and managed colocation. That turns BlackSun into a regional cloud vendor for Canadian SMEs and institutions that want their workloads kept inside domestic data centres.
Domains, DNS, SSL, BlackShield web application firewall, a Weebly site builder, SEO add-ons and Microsoft 365 email round out the product set. As a certified .CA registrar they can manage Canadian domains directly, including DNS and renewal/redemption flows.
Overall, BlackSun feels like a security-conscious, infrastructure-aware Canadian host: not the cheapest option, but one that puts serious technology (VMware, triple-redundant storage, Veeam backups, layered security) and local support at the centre of its pitch.
