📄 Editorial Review

The SSL Store is a specialized cybersecurity distributor rather than a classic web hosting company. Founded in 2007 by entrepreneur John Tuncer, they focus on SSL/TLS certificates, PKI and related security products, acting as a large multi-brand reseller and enablement platform. Over the years they have issued more than a million certificates and supported hundreds of thousands of organizations worldwide, from small businesses to well-known enterprises and universities. They position themselves as "the world’s largest SSL distributor," now operating as a subsidiary of DigiCert, Inc., while still running under their original brand identity.

Their core offering is a very broad catalogue of SSL/TLS certificates from leading certificate authorities such as DigiCert, GeoTrust, Thawte, RapidSSL, Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA), Comodo, QuoVadis and others. Customers can choose between domain validation (DV), organization validation (OV) and extended validation (EV) certificates, as well as wildcard, multi-domain (SAN/UCC) and multi-domain wildcard variants. This covers simple blog or brochure sites all the way up to large multi-site e-commerce platforms and enterprise environments. The store front lets users filter by validation level, wildcard, multi-domain or code-signing focus, which makes navigation easier even though the range is huge.

Beyond basic SSL, The SSL Store offers a significant range of identity and encryption products. This includes standard and EV code signing certificates, email signing / S/MIME certificates, and document signing certificates, plus newer certificate types such as Verified Mark Certificates (VMC) and Common Mark Certificates (CMC) used with BIMI and brand indicators in email. These products target software publishers, SaaS vendors, organizations that need to protect email communications and companies embracing modern identity and trust frameworks.

Another important line is PKI and certificate lifecycle management. The SSL Store doesn’t just resell certificates; they also bundle and integrate with management platforms like Trust Lifecycle Manager, DigiCert CertCentral Enterprise, Sectigo Certificate Manager, their own Enterprise Control Panel, Venafi drivers and integrations with tools like ManageEngine Key Manager Plus. For larger organizations, they promote managed PKI, private CA, IoT certificate management, device attestation certificates and cloud code-signing services. These features are meant to help security and DevOps teams automate issuance, renewal and revocation across complex, multi-platform environments.

On top of pure PKI, they distribute several website security and compliance tools: CodeGuard backup, Comodo cWatch Web managed security, HackerGuardian PCI scanning, TrustedSite trust seals and SiteLock website protection. Together with SSL certificates, this gives customers a single storefront for encryption, malware protection, backup and compliance scanning, which is especially attractive to agencies and hosting providers that want to bundle security services.

The SSL Store also puts a lot of emphasis on partner and reseller programs. Their reseller and broader partner channels are designed for hosting companies, MSPs, domain registrars and other IT providers who want to resell certificates without building their own integrations from scratch. The partner area highlights multiple partner types (Reseller, Technology, Integration, Strategic and Affiliate), and the company claims to have generated over 100 million dollars in revenue for partners and to be working with thousands of resellers worldwide. Integration options include APIs, WHMCS modules and plugins for cPanel, Plesk and other platforms, backed by a dedicated "Profit Portal" and enablement content for sales and marketing.

Overall, The SSL Store is best seen as a security marketplace and enablement hub. Their strength lies in aggregating many SSL/TLS and security products, negotiating discounts with CAs, and surrounding everything with support, automation and reseller tooling. For organizations that already have hosting and simply need certificates, or for providers that want to add SSL and PKI to their portfolio, this positioning is quite compelling.

The company itself operates from multiple global offices—St. Petersburg (Florida, USA), the Netherlands and India—and is supporting customers in more than 150 countries. That global footprint matters in terms of account management, sales and support coverage rather than hosting infrastructure.
