I have a business startup (online) that I want to add an SSL certificate on the front page. I saw namecheap.com offers SSL certificates that are in my budget. http://www.namecheap.com/learn/other-services/ssl-certificates.asp

I am wondering where else I can find an even better one (price/quality)?

Personally, I'd go with GeoTrust which is more widely recognized than RapidSSL (right?).

Thanks!!

Try http://www.positivessl.com they have them for $9

RapidSSL is literally the same certificate as the GeoTrust ones, it just doesn't come with "the brand name" or whatever you want to call it. Namecheap probably has the best prices around for RapidSSL certs.

Innohosting sells RapidSSL for $13.99/year http://www.innohosting.com/geotrust.html I think its pretty cheap

well, RapidSSL at namecheap is even cheaper. I've bought one SSL from positiveSSL for $9/year. Thank you all!

I've have a PostiveSSL cert installed, process was quick and painless :)

I've purchased a few Namecheap Rapidssl certs for some of my sites and they are easy to install and I've encountered no problems so far. So for those who want to get a SSL cert from Namecheap, you can go ahead and do so.

I ordered one of those positivessl certificates a few months ago for shopping cart design. I was a bit dubious with the price, but to be honest the service has been great. No regrets with it.

install SSL is also very good.

For an e-commerce are cheap SSL recommended? I'm also starting an online e-commerce and can't afford $200 SSL for a year. Why are they so much?

It's like a lot of things in life, some companies like over-pricing items to make money quickly. For example, network solutions' domain registration, Monster cables, etc.

Which would be the best buy and how does it work after I purchase the ssl?

I would go with a RapidSSL it is a single root certificate that is well recognized by browsers. For the more expensive certificates you are paying for the name as well as a more detailed check before the certificates are issued.

Alright so when I purchase it do where is the SSL hosted? I'm new to ssl. I have no clue and I'd like one as soon as possible. Thank you all for the great advice and support! =)

My question is what vendor has SSL certificates that are beyond the typical 128-bit encryption.

Anyway, most allow you to purchase higher encyption. Geotrust, Thwate, etc..

I use Geocerts to purchase Geotrust SSL at over US$200 for two years. Am I overpaid?
