 | View Full Version : SSL certificate? From Where? HTTPbit 03-19-2003, 09:32 AM Just wants to know from which company you people purchase SSL certificate for your own web site & your clients? Please provide the following details: 1. Name & URL 2. Cost Thank you! CatchyHost-Royi 03-19-2003, 09:34 AM GeoTrust, www.geotrust.com check their site for prices. HTTPbit 03-19-2003, 09:38 AM GeoTrust, www.geotrust.com check their site for prices Thanks for quick reply. I just checked their web site (http://www.geotrust.com/webtrust/index.htm) the cost is very high for QuickSSL ($149). CatchyHost-Royi 03-19-2003, 09:42 AM Just go to RackShack (if they still have) GeoTrust SSL, or go in WHT, in the top, u have there, SSL Certificates (http://w3.webhostingtalk.com/ssl/ssl.asp) HTTPbit 03-19-2003, 09:46 AM Just go to RackShack (if they still have) GeoTrust SSL, or go in WHT, in the top, u have there, SSL Certificates (http://w3.webhostingtalk.com/ssl/ssl.asp) I read the description of every company listed there but no one looks like true SSL Certificate provider. Thanks. CatchyHost-Royi 03-19-2003, 09:53 AM Ok, i say you go with Instant SSL, i just don't know the address.. do a search on Instant SSL and ull find it :) VH-Robert 03-19-2003, 10:30 AM I got a SSL Cert. from GeoTrust through Rackshack for $49 + Tax at rackshack.com. VapoRub 03-19-2003, 10:31 AM ********** (INSTANT SSL) cost $8 a year :) @FreeSSL.COM VH-Robert 03-19-2003, 01:11 PM Originally posted by ALTCO ********** (INSTANT SSL) cost $8 a year :) @FreeSSL.COM I dont see anywhere for $8 dollars? Coach 03-19-2003, 01:31 PM An SSL certificate from GeoTrust is not expensive when you compare them to Thawte and Verisign. $149 is actually pretty darn good. Rackshack does have them for $49 so you can try that as well. As far as Instant SSL. From their own website, it's $49 per year, but their URL is banned here, so I'm not posting the link. Do a search on google for Instant SSL if you need the link. Mavenman 03-19-2003, 01:31 PM ********** and FreeSSL through their documentation claim to have compatibility issues with browsers that do not have the SSLv3 Protocol. FreeSSL even advises if you are running a production site to go with Verisign, GeoTrust or Thawte. nelson 03-19-2003, 01:36 PM They use GeoTrust on the FreeSSL site. DWHS 03-19-2003, 09:55 PM We use SSLCA they are a non-profit company. http://www.sslca.com $49 a year free trust logo and 10 grand for your customers insurance. Great support. -Charles btsnet 03-19-2003, 10:22 PM www.sslsource.com memyselfandi 03-20-2003, 01:03 AM great place www.**********.com You can register certs on behalf of your client and get the cert in about 5 minutes. Brilliant! memyselfandi 03-20-2003, 01:03 AM Sorry Instant SSL (http://www.**********.com) tracphil 03-20-2003, 01:27 AM http://www.freessl.com $29 bucks. It is chained to the Baltimore root and has more browser ubiquity than the GeoTrust QuickSSL. GeoTrust has the freessl option in retaliation to Instant SSL. Businesses are still going to go with the bigger names in the SSL arena because of all of the FUD that is spread by the machines that be. Just my opinion. 7out 03-20-2003, 01:35 AM sslca.com and sslsource.com both use Comodo certs. They're just resellers I believe. nelson 03-20-2003, 08:35 AM Funny they are great and banned. Has anyone else used sslsource.com? Originally posted by memyselfandi great place www.**********.com You can register certs on behalf of your client and get the cert in about 5 minutes. Brilliant! HTTPbit 03-20-2003, 09:07 AM I think, I should go with INSTANT SSL because: 1. WHT members are recommending it. :D 2. I already taken a Trial certificate from Comodo. One question, Is INSTANT SSL & Comodo are same? Thanks. tandem 03-20-2003, 09:24 AM > One question, Is INSTANT SSL & Comodo are same? Yes, they're one and the same. Comodo is the company's name and Instant SSL is the brand for their SSL certificates. :) tracphil 03-20-2003, 09:30 AM I will say it one more time. The Instant SSL cert has the exact same root chain (Baltimore) as the $29 cert at http://www.freessl.com, this is an incredibley easy way to save $20. I used to resell (I owned http://www.ssl4less.com) for both GeoTrust and Instant SSL (Comodo) so I know what I am saying. Have a great day! Ronaldo 03-20-2003, 09:31 AM Can anybody explain why instant SSL is banned here?????? Thanks tracphil 03-20-2003, 09:35 AM I would say it was due to spam. I think they used to run multiple usernames on the board, I could be wrong about that though. Knogle 03-20-2003, 10:16 AM You could try emailing the moderators to find out.. moderators@webhostingtalk.com kwimberl 03-20-2003, 10:20 AM Originally posted by nelson They use GeoTrust on the FreeSSL site.

Why do you think it has more browser ubiquity than Geotrust QuickSSL? Both are from Geotrust you know... and it's known that chained certs have problems with older browsers.... Best choice by far (imho) is geotrust quickssl thru rackshack. HTTPbit 03-21-2003, 04:46 AM Best choice by far (imho) is geotrust quickssl thru rackshack. Can anyone purchase QuickSSL certificate from RackShack even though they do not have Servers with them? inteltechs 03-21-2003, 04:53 AM i bought mine from geotrust thru rackshack link, it works great :) HTTPbit 03-21-2003, 05:05 AM i bought mine from geotrust thru rackshack link, it works great Which link? Can you please that link here? Thanks. inteltechs 03-21-2003, 05:17 AM http://www.rackshack.net/english/quickssldetails.asp tracphil 03-21-2003, 08:57 AM Originally posted by dhabets You're talking about their chainedSSL, right?

Best choice by far (imho) is geotrust quickssl thru rackshack. Baltimores has been in the browser (I think 97) longer than the GeoTrust (2000 or so) QuickSSL. How many SSL certs have given you an error due to the fact that it is chained? Most likely none. How many people do you personally know that have said "You know I went to this site and I got an SSL error due to the fact I was using an old browser"? Most likely none. Everyone talks about older browsers having problems but I think most people are assuming that no one ever upgrades. Check your log files and see how many old browsers visit your site. tracphil 03-21-2003, 09:02 AM This is from Neil (CEO of GeoTrust) http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75243&highlight=baltimore I am telling you that Baltimore root is a good thing. Neil is trying to corner the low end consumer market with a good certificate. Most businesses are going to think that the higher priced certificates encrypt better so therefore they must be better. trustedurl.com 03-21-2003, 09:38 PM Originally posted by Weberz Check your log files and see how many old browsers visit your site. That's very true... 90% seems to be some form on a recent IE version. |
