Where to buy a SSL certificate?

888 · Aug 17, 2003

What are your considerations and choice when buying a SSL certificate? I think Verisign, Thawte and InstantSSL are the more popular ones, but their price varies greatly (just like domain registration?).

Thanks for your advice.

www.OmegaSphere.net sells Comodore.

RackShack.net is suppose to be the cheapest.

I never bought one and dont really understand what they are. Just going on what otehrs have said.

I think the mod giantdomains has a site that sells them too - you may want to ask hiim about it...

I can sale thawte ssl's which are proven to be the best in the business. I will stay away from anything Verisign ever promotes so go with thawte.

Thanks for the plug!

Actually, comodo (instantssl) certs are chained (they use baltimores root). Chained certs are not as reliable as true certs that use their own root.

Geotrust, Thawte, and Baltimore use their own roots, and are recommended.
