I needed some help to complete the issuance of a SSL certificate. I contacted SSLTrust Support and was helped by Paul Baka. Paul was very knowledgeable and I was able to complete my certificate quickly. An excellent experience!

5 out of 5 stars

Very happy with the service from SSLTrust! I had to organise a code signing certificate with a hardware token. Having somewhere local made the process much smoother for verification. Support is also very quick to answer which is a great change!

Paul from SSLTrust came to my rescue after another supplier let me down due to horrendous support and a useless certificate. Paul took the time to understand my requirements and he held my hand through every step of the process. Now my application is code signed. It was a breeze and my confidence in the process is restored. Thank you.
