I recently had to renew my SSL certificate not being a techy person I sent an email to SSL TRUST and the help from Paul was excellent. He responded quickly and gave lots of information about how to go about getting the certificate, verifying and installing it. I would recommend anyone to use SLL Trust for your IT needs. The communication and resolving my issue was top drawer.

Highly recommend SSLTrust. As somebody who is the opposite of tech savvy, I needed a lot of help to re-issue my certificate and they helped me every step of the way. No matter how silly my question, I always got a helpful reply. Even on a Sunday night when I finally sat down to sort it out, Paul was there to help. Great service and support just takes all the stress out of having to do these kinds of tasks. Thanks SSLTrust

SSLTrust support is first rate. They assisted me with each issue I faced from the start of ordering a code-signing certificate through to actually receiving the certificate. I couldn't have hoped for more prompt support. I wish there were more Australian IT companies, and that have this level of care for their customers. Highly recommend to anyone needing such services.
