Secure Socket Layer Certificate Licensing

ITE has selected Go Daddy.com as its vendor for 128-bit SSL certificates. State agencies can also take advantage of these certificates and their associated costs.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Each single domain certificate will cost $89.95 (compared to the current cost of $660 for VeriSign certificates).
  • To reduce costs further, ITE will be installing wildcard domain SSL certificates where appropriate and cost effective. Wildcard certificates cost $299.95 per certificate per year and can be installed on multiple servers. A wildcard certificate covers one domain level from the root. Example: A wildcard certificate *.iowa.gov will suffice for anyname.iowa.gov , but not anyname1.anyname2.iowa.gov
  • ITE will assist agencies in the acquisition of goDaddy.com certificates for implementation in the ITE web hosting environment. ITE will also assist in the acquisition of SSL certificates for installation on agency servers on a time and materials basis.
