From HEXONET Wiki
In February 2018, DigiCert officially completed its acquisition of the Symantec SSL certificate business. The Symantec business continued to operate as it was before, without any notable changes. But on May 2020, DigiCert has announced that it will replace the Symantec brand on all of its SSL certificates.
Product name changes will be effective starting on May 2020. You can see a list of product name changes in the following section below.
Product Name Changes
The product name change will be reflected on HEXONET's website and Control Panel. However, this does not affect existing API implementation or price relations.
