Selling Epik and #1 SSL CA Sectigo (formerly Comodo SSL) partner. DNEncrypt to be Intermediate CA.

[INFJ]

Great news everyone!

Yesterday, Epik entered into a 2 year operating agreement with SSL market leader Sectigo (formerly Comodo SSL) to become an intermediate certificate authority to issue SSL certificates across all brands of Epik Holdings, Inc.

This will allow all sites in the SSL lander network to be equipped with Domain Validated (DV), Extended Validated (EV) or Organization Validated (OV) certificates instead of the current LetsEncrypt certificates.

This is important because we don't know for how much longer LetEncrypt will allow the creation of bulk SSL certificates to produce SSLs for free at will, even for organizations with lots of IPv4's as we have.

We also don't know whether major search engines will start to view LetsEncrypt certificates as being less compelling as an authority signal versus a paid cert.

More announcements coming, but for now, this give us a 2 year window to become a full Root CA while delivering on the vision for DNEncrypt as an alternative to LetsEncrypt.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'm not sure if Epik will free the wildcard with the brand :D

Thanks for your comment. We're currently looking into Standard DV wildcards, meantime working on the most competitive pricing in the industry. Stay tuned.

Commercial DV certs. Working on bulk provisioning but for folks who need a few, try it out.

Unlimited SSL or only 1 per domain/website ?

@Rob Monster - would we see an opportunity to add the third certificates source to built-in cpanel/whm client? Any plans to work with CPANEL on this, or prepare some sort of 3rd party addon?

As this time, cpanel offers a selection between letsencrypt and sectigo 3 months certs. This is configured on server management level (WHM).

Similar question re. DirectAdmin (as the second ssl source).
