Trinix-Host, Affordable web hosting right at your fingertips, we also offer SSL Certificates and domains.

AlphaSSL is owned by GlobalSign, the second oldest Certificate Authority (CA) next to VeriSign. As they are the second oldest CA, their SSL certificates are recognized by 99% of all web browsers.

Even though AlphaSSL certificates are chained certificates, they provide the same level of security and acceptance as single-root certificates such as RapidSSL. In fact, Paypal uses a chained certificate for their own website.

Benefits:

• Provides the same security as single-root certificates at a lower cost!
• Covers both 'versions' of your domain with one SSL certificate. Example: Secures both http://www.yourdomain.com and http://yourdomain.com.
• Provides up to 256-bit encryption for your website.
• Works with more micro/cell phone browsers than RapidSSL.

Disadvantages:

• Is a chained root which requires you to install the intermediate certificate first before installing the AlphaSSL certificate on your web server. This keeps the top root certificate secure, however, it makes the installation process a little more complicated.
