Introducing Comodo SSL Certificates

We are excited to announce that we will be integrating Comodo SSL – one of world’s leading website security solutions, to our product suite on the 14th of January, 2015. As a part of the launch process, we will stop supporting New Adds & Renewals of Thawte Certificates on 16th January 2015. Read on to know more about Comodo SSL Certificates and what happens to the existing Thawte Certificates under your account.

Changes to Thawte Certificates under your Account:

• As a part of the launch process, we will stop supporting New Adds & Renewals of Thawte Certificates from 16th January 2015. However, your existing Thawte Certificates will continue to remain unaffected until they are due for renewal.


• When an existing Thawte certificate is due for renewal, Supersite users will be redirected to the Comodo product page on the Supersite from where they can select a new Comodo Plan of their choice. After confirming the purchase, users will need to submit their website & organization details to Comodo to get their new certificates issued.


• API users will need to update their API calls, implementations & UI to show relevant messaging and call the new Comodo APIs for add & renew, as add/renews calls that are made to the Thawte APIs (i.e. /digitalcertificate/add & /digitalcertificate/renew) will fail. Please contact your Account Manager for a demo instance to test your API.


• You can continue to manage existing Thawte Certificates through our platform until they expire. This means that non-purchase actions like Enroll, Reissue, Suspend, etc will continue to work through both the Control Panel & the API until the certificate expires.

Important Notice

• Please contact your Account Manager in order to obtain a complete list of domains and the respective expiry dates for which Thawte Certificates have been provisioned under your account.


• We strongly recommend that you set your selling preferences for Thawte SSL Certificates to ‘No New Orders’ before 16th January, 2015 post which it will automatically be set to ‘No New Orders’ from our end.


• Thawte Certificates will continue to exist on your Control Panel and Supersite under the ‘Digital Certificates’ tab until your existing orders expire. Comodo SSL Certificates will be visible on your Control Panel and Supersite under the ‘SSL Certificates’ tab.
