You can use SSL 123 certificate from http://www.thawte.com. You can use their trusted site seal to show your clients that the site is protected. Check https://www.thawte.com/ssl-digital-certificates/trusted-site-seal/index.html?click=main-nav-products-siteseal

Hi!

I use startssl.com, it is, well, free, the only issue is: some browsers (IE6) doesn't include the CA by default, but firefox include it, and I believe IE8 also have it.... well, it was free, so I decided to give it a try!, this far: I have no complaints (almost all of my clients already use firefox instead of IE).

I hope this helps,

RapidSSL provides cheap SSL certs starting from $19.99, check www.SSLDirect.com. Before going for cheap SSLs make sure that the SSL is not self signed certificate. Most of the SSL providers for $9.99 are self signed ssl providers

I, too prefer the Thawte SSL 123, for the recognition associated with the Thawte name.

I've been getting them from Dotster, for I believe $35, so I'm curious where they are $24?

Both are a good price, considering Thawte direct charges $149!

Site seals were one of the best marketing and one of the worst security decisions ever made.

If the browser has a padlock in the url bar, it's ssl encrypted. It took security experts years to teach users to look for it and to recognize it.

A "picture" or seal or whatever doesn't mean the site is secure but it does market the certificate 'brand' to perspective buyers.

I'm using the Rapid SSl Cert from Namescheap which is free with any purchase or transfer for a year. Works well as a shared certificate to offer your customers as a basic solution and then you can offer them the real deal when they need it.

You get the relevant logos and seals from Comodo's website.
