We would like to notify our valued partners that DigiCert will be adjusting its product pricing across all certificate brands available in CertCentral®, effective August 1, 2025. This includes products from DigiCert, GeoTrust®, Thawte®, and RapidSSL.
This pricing update applies to all SSL/TLS certificates, including both standard and Flex products, as well as multi-year certificate options. It reflects DigiCert’s continued efforts to enhance service quality, product functionality, and long-term value for partners and end-users.
What This Means for You
Starting August 1, 2025, new pricing will apply to all newly purchased and renewed DigiCert certificates. As a WebNIC reseller, you have a window of opportunity to act now and secure current rates before the price adjustment takes effect.
Whether you manage a small number of certificates or oversee a large enterprise-level certificate portfolio, taking early action can help you save on upcoming renewals and avoid higher costs. This is also an ideal time to evaluate your SSL needs for the rest of the year and beyond.
By placing your orders before July 31, 2025, you ensure cost certainty and uninterrupted protection for your customers. This applies even to certificates that are set to expire later in 2025 or in 2026.
Why is DigiCert increasing prices
DigiCert’s pricing adjustment is a reflection of its commitment to strengthening the foundation of digital trust. The company continues to invest in innovation, infrastructure, and partner support. Several recent enhancements underscore this commitment:
- Integrated Certificate Automation via ACME
DigiCert has significantly expanded automation capabilities through support for the ACME protocol. This allows businesses to deploy certificates more quickly, reduce manual intervention, and prepare for the upcoming shift to shorter certificate lifecycles—a move that aligns with modern browser policies and best practices.
- DNS-Integrated Domain Validation with UltraDNS®
The combination of CertCentral and UltraDNS enables seamless domain validation with improved reliability and security. This integration simplifies domain control verification while maintaining centralized governance and minimizing access risk through a least-privilege approach.
- Enhanced Validation Transparency
DigiCert has improved visibility into the OV (Organization Validation) and EV (Extended Validation) processes, giving customers real-time insight into their validation status. This reduces delays and helps stakeholders better manage their issuance timelines.
- Email Trust with DigiCert Mark Certificates
As phishing attacks and email spoofing continue to rise, organizations need stronger tools to build trust in email communications. DigiCert Mark Certificates allow businesses to display their verified logo directly in recipients’ inboxes, improving both brand visibility and engagement.
- DigiCert X9 PKI for TLS
In response to recent changes in browser trust policies—especially Chrome’s stance on client authentication—DigiCert introduced X9 PKI for TLS. This solution offers mutual TLS authentication that is interoperable and scalable across organizational boundaries, ideal for enterprises managing complex infrastructures.
These developments represent more than just product improvements—they offer resellers enhanced opportunities to deliver value-added services, strengthen customer relationships, and stay competitive in a fast-changing digital security landscape.
Act Now To Stay Ahead
To take advantage of current pricing before the changes take effect, we strongly recommend that you:
- Renew certificates early, even if they are not yet close to expiration.
- Opt for multi-year certificate terms, where available, to lock in the current rates for a longer period.
- Consult with your WebNIC account manager to assess your portfolio and receive tailored support and quotations.
By planning ahead, you can reduce cost exposure, improve service continuity for your clients, and avoid last-minute operational bottlenecks.
Cut-Off Date: July 31, 2025
Orders that are confirmed on or before July 31, 2025 will remain eligible for the current pricing structure. We highly encourage all partners to finalize their renewals and new certificate purchases well before this deadline to ensure smooth processing and avoid potential delays closer to the date.
If you have any questions about how this update affects your account, or if you need help identifying certificates eligible for early renewal, please don’t hesitate to contact your dedicated WebNIC account manager or our support team. We are here to help you navigate this transition smoothly and maintain the highest levels of service and customer satisfaction.
Secure your savings today and continue building a strong foundation of digital trust for your business and your customers.
