When purchasing an SSL certificate from Web Hosting Magic, customers with a domain that has an existing SSL certificate can get a great deal from qualifying competing vendors (RapidSSL, GeoTrust, or Symantec).

When you purchase SSL under our competitive upgrade program, any remaining time on your current SSL certificate is rolled over as an extension to the newly purchased SSL Certificate (up to a maximum of 12 additional months).

So for example, if your current certificate has 11 months left to run and then purchase a new certificate for 1 year, your new certificate will be valid for 1 year AND 11 months.

That means that the only fee you will be just the annual cost for the new certificate.

 

How Does Competitive Upgrade Work?

We have a tool that customers can use to validate the eligibility of their domain and current SSL Certificate.

To get to it, simply navigate to Store > HTTPS SSL/TLS Certificates > Switch to Us and you will see a page like the one pictured below.

SSL/TLS Competitive Upgrade

 

Enter the domain name to look up the current SSL certificate and validate competitive upgrade eligibility.

Once you have entered the domain name, our system will confirm if the current SSL certificate is eligible or not.

It will also check the current expiry date of the SSL Certificate and if there is a free extension eligibility period for it.

Credit will be determined by the number of months existing on the current certificate at the time of the order being provisioned.

The amount of time to be carried over will be determined by DigiCert and can be subject to review if there are any discrepancies.

 

SSL/TLS Competitive Upgrade-2

 

Now following validating the domain for Competitive Upgrade, you will see a Competitive Upgrade banner.

You can then choose any of the available DV, OV, or EV SSL Certificates via the regular SSL landing pages.

Once a certificate has been chosen and added to the cart, the shopping cart will indicate the Competitive Upgrade eligibility status. The invoice issued for the order will also note the Competitive Upgrade Qualifying status.

 

Please note that every SSL Order, regardless of whether it is initiated via the Switch to Us/Competitive Upgrade tool or not is always validated for eligibility for a competitive upgrade.

Therefore no special actions are required.

If the domain being provisioned for SSL has an existing SSL certificate from a qualifying vendor, a competitive upgrade will be automatically applied.

Also please note that credit will be determined by the number of months existing on the current certificate at the time of the certificate being provisioned.

The amount of time to be carried over will be determined by DigiCert and can be subject to review if there are any discrepancies.
