    How much do u pay for SSL certificates?

    1) do u pay for your own SSL certificates?

    2) if so then how $$?

    3) do you use your hosts shared SSL certificate?(is there a problem with doing this)?

    Verisign is too expensive

    thanks

    I use godaddy.com's. I think it was 58 for 2 years. You can look at mine here. It's all mine and not shared. It's on the right-hand side. John

    I agree with a comment posted elsewhere: Do customers REALLY look at the certs? I don't believe they do based on conversations I have had.

    is there a problem with using the hosts shared SSL certificate?

    What is the disadvantage of using this over using your own SSL cert?

    Do all SSL certificates have the little gold padlock icon at the bottom right corner of screen while doing transactions???

    thanks

    One main disadvantage of using a shared ssl is that url in clients web browser will be different then the url of your web site. For example your web site site might be www.mysite.com, but accessed over a shared ssl it would look something like https://secure.secureserver.com/~mysite/

    If you have a dedicated ip and ssl certificate, when accessing the site the url would be https://www.mysite.com.

    If you're going to buy your own SSL cetificate, be sure you have a dedicated IP for your account.... or can at least get one. You need a dedicated IP in order to get your own SSL certificate.

    Was using godaddy.com in 2004 then in 2005 decided to try RapidSSL, both good and afforable SSL solutions.

    I use Geotrust certificates, they're fairly cheap at EV1 servers.

    We use InstantSSL.com from Comodo which seem to work just fine.

    We've been using GoDaddy and EV1Servers to purchase certificates for our customers and ourselves, but we've recently ran across ModernBill's SSL Factory system which will allow us to seamlessly sell them to our customers through ModernBill.

    We purchase directly through our reseller account with www.rapidssl.com using their API.

    Our pricing is $9.95 for their basic certificate... (we get low pricing because we bought a huge bulk number of them)

    Very nice company to purchase from.
    We are eNom PLATINUM PLUS resellers!
    Sign up today for an eNom.com reseller account with lowest possible pricing.

    That seems to be a HUGHE HUGHE HUGHE bulk pruchase. They don't even list that price in their reseller plan (the last time I checked).

    Agree with your comment about the company - the best customer service I have ever experienced on the Net.

    Can Someone tell me why there is such a huge price difference between serverstatic rapidssl and the other rapidssl website?

    Also why the price difference between rapidssl and geotrust?

    Is there something i dont know that justifies these price differences?

    thanks

    We buy the SSL certificates in bulk so get a cheaper price.

    Geoturst is considered as a higher value SSL authority and therefore can be used for sites securing higher value SSL transactions.

    i also like to undestand the price difference from servertastic ($14.95) and rapidssl ($69) So what is the difference here??
    I like to purchase an SSL cert. form my support area - no payments or cc card processing only support - so can i use the servertastic SSL cert as:
    https://support.mywebsite.com (or https://mywebsite.com/support/) ?


    Thanks for advice

    we use rapidssl, they are owned by geotrust (signed by equifax)... the godaddy cert is some sort of chained cert... It's okay, i guess.....

    Rapid SSL cert is much better, look at your certification path in the browser using ssl on taylorsnutrition.
