GP-JT 03-31-2006, 10:28 PM What plans? Aussie Bob 03-31-2006, 10:48 PM so are the 59$ and the 89$ plan same?? or there might be more feature for 89$ one? Different SSL providers charge differring amounts. They also offer different levels of security. Some offer more insurance, or 128bit to 256bit encrypted etc. The larger more known SSL brands tend to cost more. It's a bit of a minefield out there, in the fast changing SSL environment. Nothing stays the same for too long these days. If you aint moving, you're probably dead. LukeKrogh 04-01-2006, 01:22 PM If you aint moving, you're probably dead. Just like everything else in the technology era. |
