Overview
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Latvia, GoGetSSL is a specialized SSL Certificate aggregator and reseller platform. Unlike certificate authorities (CAs), GoGetSSL does not issue certificates directly — it aggregates SSL products from over 50 CA brands, providing a unified platform for cross-brand comparison shopping, purchasing, and management. As a multi-brand reseller, GoGetSSL's pricing is typically 30%-60% below official CA retail prices, making it a strong choice for budget-conscious SSL procurement.
GoGetSSL's core value proposition lies in reducing information asymmetry in SSL purchasing. Its comparison engine allows users to evaluate DV, OV, and EV certificate prices and features across different brands side by side, helping buyers quickly identify the best option. For businesses purchasing multiple certificates, the unified management dashboard significantly reduces multi-brand certificate operational complexity.
Key Strengths
50+ Brands in One Platform
GoGetSSL aggregates SSL products from over 50 CAs including Sectigo, DigiCert, GlobalSign, Certum, Thawte, GeoTrust, and RapidSSL. Users can compare, select, and order across brands without visiting each CA's website individually, saving substantial research time.
30%-60% Price Savings
As a volume reseller, GoGetSSL offers SSL certificates at prices typically 30%-60% below official CA retail. For example, Sectigo PositiveSSL entry-level DV certificates can be as low as $4/year. For organizations deploying multiple certificates or managing numerous domains, the cumulative savings are significant.
Free Unlimited Reissuance
GoGetSSL provides free certificate reissuance during the validity period, with no limit on the number of reissues. When servers are replaced, private keys are lost, or domain names change, users can reissue certificates at no extra cost — particularly valuable in dynamic operational environments.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
GoGetSSL offers a 30-day refund guarantee across all brands. Users have ample time to verify certificate compatibility and deployment effectiveness, minimizing trial risk.
Product Ecosystem
Sectigo Product Line
As an authorized Sectigo reseller, GoGetSSL offers the full Sectigo certificate portfolio including PositiveSSL (DV), EssentialSSL (Wildcard), InstantSSL (OV), and PremiumSSL (EV). Sectigo's broad compatibility and affordable pricing make it the highest-volume brand on the GoGetSSL platform.
DigiCert Product Line
Enterprise-grade certificates including DigiCert Secure Site (OV), Secure Site Pro (EV with SGC), and Secure Site Wildcard are available through GoGetSSL. DigiCert is known for its high trust level and extensive root certificate distribution, suitable for financial, government, and large enterprise compliance requirements.
GlobalSign, Certum & Other Brands
GoGetSSL also carries GlobalSign, Certum, Thawte, and GeoTrust certificates. Each brand has distinct strengths — GlobalSign excels in document signing certificates, Certum has strong European market recognition, and GeoTrust leverages broad brand awareness for small to mid-market buyers.
Limitations
Reseller Dependency
As a reseller rather than a CA, GoGetSSL depends entirely on upstream CAs for certificate issuance, renewal, and revocation processes. When upstream CA systems encounter issues (e.g., validation delays, root certificate changes), GoGetSSL must coordinate with the upstream, adding potential response time.
Limited Support Channels
GoGetSSL primarily supports customers through a ticket-based system with no phone support. Standard ticket response time is 2-4 hours, which may be insufficient for urgent scenarios such as certificates nearing expiration that require rapid reissuance.
First-Year Discount vs. Renewal Pricing
Some brands on GoGetSSL offer steep first-year promotional discounts, with renewal pricing returning to standard reseller rates. Buyers should review renewal pricing details for each brand before purchasing to avoid being misled by low initial prices.
