View Full Version : Where to buy cheap SSL certs for under $20???
Frosty 03-31-2008, 11:34 AM Last year I bought a couple of rapid SSL certs for I believe $12 or $15 each. Now the certs are about to expire but for the life of me I cannot find or remember where to re-new my cert at that great price!
I tried searching WHT to no avail. If anybody knows could you please let me know because I'm not about to spend $70 just to re-new an SSL cert. I have 3 of them to re-new and that would be ridiculously expensive.
Thanks.
Frosty 03-31-2008, 11:37 AM Sorry now I remember. I should have searched a bit more before posting. I bought my cheap SSL cert from The Planet:

I shall re-new my certs there, you can't beat that price :)
Where did you buy @ those prices.

thePlanet is a much better place to renew than Godaddy your certs. Nice you found.

I want to stay away from godaddy's certs. I have heard of people having problems with their certs.
But what is the difference between Radpid SSL and Quick SSL? One is $14.95 and the other is $49... why the huge price in difference?

I mean both are suited just fine for a shared hosting server hosting websites which will be using the cert. So the Rapid SSL should suffice just fine :)
unity100 03-31-2008, 11:47 AM huge price difference is due to geotrust's certs being recognized by more browsers than rapidssl. almost all browsers know geotrust certs. get theirs.
Frosty 03-31-2008, 11:49 AM But Rapid SSL works in IE, firefox, Opera and Netscape correct?
Therefore I think it would be silly to pay such a huge difference in price if Rapid SSL is supported in those main browsers... I see no point to that?
I don't need my cert to work with the Safari browser for example... not necessary.
magnuson56 03-31-2008, 02:18 PM After looking around, Go with the one where the link is at the planet. Cheap price and RapidSSL is awesome.
unity100 03-31-2008, 02:34 PM If i were you, i would go with Geotrust QuickSSL Premium and get their site seal and display it on my site too.

RapidSSL for $14.95 USD per year. They're the cheapest I could find.
keliix06 03-31-2008, 06:25 PM Namecheap has them for $15. Our Enom reseller account has them for $10.
PogiWeb 04-02-2008, 09:19 AM What browsers for RapidSSL?
"RapidSSL is a 128 / 256 bit single root SSL certificate. RapidSSL.com owns the root used to issue RapidSSL certificates making it a stable SSL offering. RapidSSL is already present in the IE 5.01+, Netscape 4.7+ and Mozilla 1+ browsers and many other new Windows and Mac based browsers. Includes $10,000 warranty."
uberhostNET 04-02-2008, 12:24 PM https://www.servertastic.com/ is $12.95 for RapidSSL, no catches or "gotchas" (we've used ServerTastic, Dynadot, Trustico, etc).
cywkevin 04-02-2008, 12:56 PM He's right my enom account let's me buy rapidssl certs at 10 bucks a pop.
ntlntl 04-04-2008, 08:38 AM howmuch it usually cost to get the site with cert, seal to make it looks pro?
cywkevin 04-04-2008, 08:48 AM I usually see the ones with the seal at around $90

The RapidSSL certs come with a seal but this is just a normal gif image.
The QuickSSL Premium certiicates have a site seal which is dynamic and contains the date.
Then you are looking at things like the True BusinessID or EV certificates if you want your company name in the seal.
hosteur 04-04-2008, 02:56 PM I vote too for theplanet for low price on ssl cert.
alex-developer 04-16-2008, 12:36 PM Namecheap has them for $15.
But their system contains bugs, second time I am not getting the RapidSSL Approver email, to confirm the ssl certificate & complete the final step, second time I am waiting for more than 24 hours, support is very slow never reply on emails the same day.

This is true. One of the reasons we no longer get certs with them.
