Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) revolutionizes SSL Certificate management by automating the entire SSL Certificate lifecycle through the industry-standard ACME protocol.
Say goodbye to manual SSL Certificate ordering, validation headaches, and renewal reminders. With our service-based model, you pay per domain and receive unlimited SSL Certificates with complete automation.
How Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) Works
When you purchase Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS), you receive External Account Binding (EAB) credentials that connect your ACME client to your pre-paid service.
These credentials include your EAB Key ID as your unique account identifier, your EAB MAC Key as your secure authentication key, and your dedicated ACME Server URL.
Configure your preferred ACME client such as Certbot, acme.sh, Lego, or any ACME-compatible tool with these credentials, and you're ready to go. Your client will automatically request and install SSL Certificates for any domains in your service, without any manual intervention.
Complete Automation Benefits
Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) eliminates all manual processes from SSL Certificate management. There's no need to generate CSRs, handle approval e-mails, or set renewal reminders.
Your ACME client handles automatic domain validation and SSL Certificate issuance seamlessly for the period that you have an active paid service.
SSL Certificates install automatically before expiration, ensuring your websites and applications never experience downtime due to expired SSL Certificates. This zero-touch SSL Certificate management approach saves countless hours of administrative work while reducing human error.
Includes Associated Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Free!
It's recommended to exclude the www part of the domain during our ordering process as we will include it free of charge as an associated Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) during the activation process.
Predictable Pricing Model
Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) uses a simple fee structure per domain, making budgeting straightforward and predictable. Each service covers one primary domain along with any associated free additional domains, such as www subdomains for root domains or subdomains when using wildcard SSL Certificates.
Once you purchase a domain service, you can issue via your ACME client, unlimited SSL Certificates for that domain and its included variations without additional costs per SSL Certificate.
This means you can secure your primary domain, www version, and any subdomains covered by wildcard SSL Certificates under a single service.
If you need to secure additional domains beyond your current service simply purchase its own separate Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) with dedicated credentials and management.
This transparent pricing model eliminates surprise renewal costs and makes financial planning easier for growing businesses by providing clear, predictable costs for each domain you need to protect.
Service Continuity and Renewal
Automated SSL Certificate installation and management through Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) operates seamlessly only while your paid service remains active.
Your ACME client will continue to automatically renew SSL Certificates and maintain continuous protection as long as your service subscription is current.
To ensure truly seamless SSL Certificate management without interruption, it's essential to renew your Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) before expiration or consider setting up automatic billing for uninterrupted service continuity.
If your service expires, your ACME client will be unable to renew SSL Certificates, potentially leading to SSL Certificate expiration and website downtime until service is restored.
Unlimited Flexibility
Your Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) provides unlimited SSL Certificates per domain service, making it perfect for complex infrastructure needs.
Secure multiple servers, development environments, staging systems, and production applications all under one service.
The service integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure and deployment pipelines. Whether you're running load balancers, failover systems, or distributed applications, Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) scales with your architecture without additional complexity or costs.
Enterprise-Ready Security
Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) is built on the industry-standard ACME protocol, ensuring compatibility with existing security frameworks and tools.
The automated renewal process maintains continuous protection without security gaps that can occur with manual SSL Certificate management.
Your EAB credentials provide secure access to your service while maintaining the flexibility to use multiple ACME clients across different systems. This approach supports enterprise security requirements while simplifying SSL Certificate operations.
Domain Validation SSL Certificates
Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) offers Domain Validation (DV) SSL Certificates with fast issuance through automated domain validation. These SSL Certificates provide standard encryption suitable for most web applications and services.
DV SSL Certificates are perfect for websites, APIs, and applications where quick deployment and automatic management are priorities. The automated validation process typically completes within minutes, allowing for rapid SSL Certificate deployment.
Organization Validation SSL Certificates
For businesses requiring enhanced trust indicators, Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) supports Organization Validation (OV) SSL Certificates.
These SSL Certificates include verified organization information, making them ideal for customer-facing business applications and corporate websites.
OV SSL Certificates maintain the same automated management benefits as DV SSL Certificates while providing the additional trust signals that business customers expect.
The ACME protocol handles the technical aspects while maintaining the enhanced validation standards.
Getting Started with Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS)

Security Best Practices
Your EAB credentials are the secure keys to your Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) and require proper protection.
