YOU MAY WONDER:

How is TBS Internet able to sell SSL certificates below the certificate authorities’ regular prices?
We are able to sell the SSL certificates below the certificate authorities’ regular prices because we buy a huge amount of SSL certificates, and we handle the support for them.

Is there a difference between the certificates I purchase through TBS Internet and those I buy directly from the certificate authorities?
No. The SSL certificates are the same. The only differences are that we provide better support and better customer service!
