Comodo Trial Free SSL

About Comodo Trial SSL Certificate

This certificate is a FREE SSL certificate that can be used for testing purposes, as well as a temporary SSL certificate while your main SSL certificates are in the validation process. It offers up to 256bit protection, a Comodo Site Seal, and RSA/ECC keys, which means your website will be secured.

This FREE SSL certificate can be used also for the projects being in development, so you don't have to spend money on paid certificates.No documents are required for this type of certificates, which makes it a great choice for those who want a fast and simple solution to protect their website.

Your Comodo® Trial SSL Certificate is licensed for an unlimited number of physical servers, and both domains.com and www.domain.com are secured, which is very convenient considering many Certificate Authorities issue certificates for a limited number of servers, and require a separate SSL for www version of the website.

For example, if we receive an order for www.domain.com, both www.domain.com and domain.com will be backed up and included as values in the SAN fields of the issued SSL certificate.

Comodo Trial vs Rapid SSL Trial 

While offering similar security options, RapidSSL is a more reliable brand; however, it offers only 30 days of Trial Usage. Both certificates are issued within minutes. The other important difference is that Comodo supports Http, DNS, and https validation, while RapidSSL Trial supports only Email validation. That means in certain scenarios only Comodo certificate can be used.  Also, Comodo supports the following private keys RSA 2048, ECC 256, ECC 384, while other brands are limited to RSA 2048 and RSA 4096.

Extended Applications and Use Cases

While the Comodo Trial SSL Certificate offers a 30-day free solution, we're excited to announce a special promotion: a 1 year free SSL certificate for eligible customers. This 1 year free SSL certificate provides extended security for various scenarios:

1. Development and Staging Environments
   Whether you're using the 30-day trial or taking advantage of our 1 year free SSL certificate offer, these certificates are perfect for developers working on new websites or applications, providing a secure testing ground without immediate investment in a long-term SSL solution.

2. Proof of Concept Projects
   When pitching new ideas or demonstrating prototypes to stakeholders, both the trial and 1 year free SSL certificate options ensure that sensitive data remains protected during presentations and initial testing phases.

3. Short-Term Events and Campaigns
   For websites or applications that are active for a brief period, such as event registrations or limited-time marketing campaigns, the 30-day trial is ideal. For longer campaigns, our 1 year free SSL certificate offer provides extended coverage.

4. Load Testing and Performance Evaluation
   When conducting stress tests or performance evaluations on new server setups, these certificates allow for realistic HTTPS traffic simulation without additional cost.

Advanced Technical Specifications

1. Root Certificate Compatibility
   Both the Comodo Trial SSL and our 1 year free SSL certificate are cross-signed by multiple root certificates, ensuring broad compatibility across different systems and devices.

2. OCSP and CRL Support
   These certificates support both Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL), providing real-time certificate validity checks.

3. Wildcard Domain Support
   While not wildcard certificates themselves, they can be used to secure specific subdomains, making them useful for testing subdomain configurations before investing in a full wildcard certificate.

Best Practices for Usage

1. Certificate Renewal Strategy
   For the 30-day trial, it's crucial to have a plan for transitioning to a permanent SSL solution before the period expires. With our 1 year free SSL certificate, you have more time to plan, but should still prepare for renewal well in advance.

2. Regular Key Rotation
   Even for free certificates, it's recommended to generate new keys for each certificate issuance to maintain optimal security practices.

3. Monitoring and Alerts
   Set up monitoring for the certificate's expiration date and configure alerts to ensure timely action before the trial or 1 year free SSL certificate period ends.

4. Documentation and Learning
   Use the free certificate period as an opportunity to document the SSL implementation process, creating valuable resources for future deployments.

Integration with Security Tools

Both the Comodo Trial SSL Certificate and our 1 year free SSL certificate can be seamlessly integrated with various security and monitoring tools:

1. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs)
   Compatible with popular WAFs, allowing for comprehensive security testing of your web applications.

2. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Systems
   Can be monitored by SIEM solutions, providing valuable data on SSL/TLS usage and potential security events.

3. Vulnerability Scanners
   Works with common vulnerability scanning tools, allowing for thorough security assessments of your HTTPS-enabled services.

Future-Proofing Considerations

While both the trial and 1 year free SSL certificate meet current security standards, it's important to consider future developments:

1. Post-Quantum Cryptography
   As quantum computing advances, consider how your long-term SSL strategy will adapt to post-quantum cryptographic standards.

2. Emerging Protocols
   Stay informed about emerging protocols and how they might impact your SSL usage, even with free certificates.

Remember, whether you're using the 30-day trial or our special 1 year free SSL certificate offer, these solutions provide an excellent opportunity to enhance your website's security and test SSL implementation without immediate financial commitment.
