Can anyone recommend an alternative to Comodo for SSL?

It depends on what you need to do with it. If price and the ability to encrypt data without throwing an alert in most peoples browser then Secure Business Services CA through enom is a pretty good deal @ 19.95

If you need to show that you have verified your Identity as opposed to a simple admin@yourdomain.com email verification I'd stick with Comodo.

If you just need to encrypt the data with no signing verification, a self signed cert is good enough.

I recommend rapidssl. Its cheap and actually does do voice authentication and a little more detailed info than the comodo cert mentioned above. You can get a good price on them at http://ev1servers.net/Dedicated/DomainsAndSSL.aspx.

Personally we use GeoTrust, but through a reseller account. If you find a reseller of GeoTrust there prices are much more reasonable.

What's GeoTrust's support like?

never had a problem with them myself. Most of the certs we buy are trueid verified. I've only had to call them once and found out that I called about 30 seconds after the cert was emailed. LOL

So you've never really had to interact with their support team ....

why would you need to? They just email you a cert, you set it up yourself. There really isnt much chance of them screwing up. Its usually just the end user messing up the install, which isnt their responsibility.

That's all well and good if you are only dealing with simple certs .....

What I was going to say Blacknight. ;)

For your basic cert, you are right MACscr, but when it comes to trueident, high availability certs, and other products that completely changes.

Or when you have clients who want to use SSL on mobile devices of all shapes and sizes

Or when you have clients who are using non-standard webservers

Need code signing solutions

I could go on ...

Even we use geotrust as a reseller and have found it pretty good up till now

True. i have just always thought of commodo as being very low end, which is why i was commenting on that area. My bad.

If you're buying RapidSSL certs from EV1, go signup to the reseller website at resellone.net. Only $10.
