Hi Floks,
I need Certificate for my domain but there are so many vendor and there are so many kind of certificates that i am little lost.

Can some one can give me some tips and a cheap place where to buy my SSL certificate.

Thanks

theplanet.com sells an effective cheap rapidssl certificate for 15 bucks.

I recommend RapidSSL or GeoTrust QuickSSL.

Comodo InstantSSL is another good choice.

namecheap.com is another option

Namecheap.com sells RapidSSL for 15$ too :)

I picked mine up at registerfly....$15. According to the recent post of hacking attempts I'm not sure its the best choice...lol. Let's hope it is.

namecheap.com sale the Geotrust SSL (QuickSSL Premium) $108.00
and at www.geotrust.com the same SSL Certificates: QuickSSL® Premium is $299.

It's look the same SSL for me.. why such price difference?

Thanks

I get mine from Godaddy (19.99) with a 1.99 USD domain :D

The only thing I've discovered I don't care for about NameCheap's resold RapidSSL certs is that somewhere along the line someone ignores most of the data from my CSR.

Ie. https://www.lightwave.net/
The cert data should be closer to my self-signed cert @
https://dns.lightwave.net/

I knowingly clicked the "I Approve" link when going through the process even tho it clearly displayed the information not quite as what I wanted... so I'm not really complaining... Just thought it was strange.

I'm not sure if that's a normal function of the way they resell the certs... or if I had complained they could have set it correctly. /shrug. It wasn't worth the delay.

Resellers like NameCheap buy certs at wholesale prices and often sell them below the suggested list price on Geotrust. It's the same certificate, just cheaper. Things like reissues would still go through the Geotrust website. So generally it's better to buy from a trusted reseller to save some money.

I use ThePlanet/EV1 for most of my certificates. In fact, I just bought one last night! =)

how about thawte ssl certificates. What's there rating ?

I have the one from Namecheap

If you just need a basic cheep ssl cert go with ThePlanet for $15, its an equifax CA-1 cert.

That is becuase you have purchased on eof the low cost domain validated SSL certificates. becuase the company has only done domain validation they can not confirm the data you provided and therefore donot present this within the certificate.

If you want to have your full details displayed in the certificate then you need to purchase a more expensive certificate such as the True BusinessID or a new Extended Validation certificate.

I would recommend RapidSSL

I enjoy going through Comodo. Their customer support is pretty respectable.
