GeoTrust signed an agreement with Baltimore technology to offer chained ssl certs (same cert as comodo instantSSL - chained to the same Baltimore Root) from the freessl.com web site. The certs will retail for $25 a year starting Oct 1st..

I think this gives the low priced segment a great chained cert alternative...

Neal

"chanied to the same Baltimore Root"

Is it compatible with IE 5.x & NS 4.x ?

or just IE 5.01 and up ??

Please tell me, as the price is very interesting, not just for me, but for my clients too! :)

Regards.

I'm curious about the compatibility as well. :)

Since it uses the Baltimore Root as the trust cert, it will have same compatibility as the InstantSSL cert from Comodo, which is:

IE 5.00+
NS 4.x+
Opera 5+
AOL 5+

Thanks for the responses here and on FreeSSL.com... We are seeing quite a few folks get our chained certs for $25 (the same certs that Comodo sells on their site for $49!!). However, the freeSSL certs are still the most popular on freessl.com.....

How long will that price stay that way?

What about verification. The last cert I went to buy Comodo gave me a tad bit of hassle.

$25 is a great price, esp for a Baltimore chained cert.
