German Registrar & Web Host regfish joins
GeoTrust Europe as International Affiliate

GeoTrust Europe to provide SSL Certificates to one of Germany’s largest Dynamic DNS providers

May 3rd 2004 Maidstone, London, UK and Giessen, Germany. GeoTrust Europe (www.geotrusteurope.com) a leader in identity and security solutions for e-business and the second largest certificate authority worldwide, today announced the latest European partner to join its International Affiliate program. regfish (www.regfish.de), a Germany based domain registrar and hosting services provider, will provide GeoTrust SSL certificates alongside its recently expanded portfolio of domain and hosting related products and services allowing existing and new customers to conduct secure online transactions.

regfish, the first and still one of the most popular Dynamic DNS providers in Germany, now offers QuickSSL Premium, a cost effective and highly trusted 128 bit SSL certificate issued in 10 minutes or less, to its customers. QuickSSL Premium also includes a confidence enhancing site seal which is dynamically generated by GeoTrust to include a time / date stamp and allows a web site to display its secure status to visitors and potential customers. RegFish also offers other GeoTrust SSL Certificates, including the True BusinessID Wildcard certificate. The Wildcard certificate allows a site to secure multiple sub domains on the same domain and server with a single certificate – eliminating the need for a web site administrator to manage multiple certificates for multiple sub domains.

As a GeoTrust International Affiliate, regfish accepts payment in local currency (EURO) or US Dollars and offers sales and technical support services in the local language (German). regfish has also used the highly flexible GeoTrust SOAP API to fully integrate the enrollment and issuance process into its own Domain Management Console to allow customers to manage their regfish hosted web sites, domain names and now their GeoTrust SSL certificates from a central web based location.

“We are extremely pleased to welcome regfish to GeoTrust as one of our International Affiliates,” comments Paul Tourret, Managing Director with GeoTrust Europe, “regfish will no doubt continue to excel in the German market place, especially with the availability of internationally trusted GeoTrust certificates through its Domain Management Console.”

Andreas Mallek, CEO of regfish states “The addition of GeoTrust SSL certificates to the regfish Domain Management Console makes it easier than ever for regfish customers to manage all their web site resources, including hosting, domain names and of course their SSL certificates. Being able to secure their sites with a GeoTrust 128 bit SSL certificate in 10 minutes or less will prove to be an extremely convenient addition to our current product portfolio.”

regfish relaunched the regfish.de, regfish.at and regfish.ch web sites on 1st May 2004 to incorporate its extended product lines, including GeoTrust SSL Certificates, SMS (Short Message Service) XML/SOAP Gateway and Bank Account Validation Service over XML/SOAP and domain trustee services, allowing non-German based companies to obtain and use .de domain names. regfish has also recently expanded into the US hosting service market with the addition of regfish.com to its family of web sites.

GeoTrust SSL Certificates are now available through regfish at www.regfish.de, www.regfish.at, www.regfish.ch and www.regfish.com.
