These products are not available for purchase anymore and will be removed from our RCP (Reseller Control Panel) and API on September, 6 2016:
- EV SGC SSL
- Instant SGC SSL
- Instant SGC Wildcard SSL
If you have a valid SGC certificate which will be up for renewal in the future, we recommend the following alternatives:
Existing certificate | Replacement Certificate |
---|---|
EV SGC SSL | Comodo EV |
Instant SGC SSL | Comodo Instant SSL |
Instant SGC Wildcard SSL | Comodo PremiumSSL Wildcard |
The move away from SGC to your new certificate type will not impact your website security.
All Comodo certificates are trusted by 99.9% of browsers and mobile devices and use the very latest security technologies (including SHA-2 algorithms, 2048 signatures and RSA/ECC keys).
Comodo has decided to retire SGC because the number of people still using old browsers has fallen to insignificant levels.
Symantec SGC certificates
In accordance with a general movement away from SGC among major certificate authorities we will not offer Symantec SGC certificates as well:
Existing certificate | Replacement Certificate |
---|---|
Secure Site Pro with EV | Secure Site with EV |
Secure Site Pro | Secure Site |
Thawte SGC SuperCert | Thawte Web Server |
Although they are still available via API we do not recommend purchasing them as they do not offer additional value for your customers.
