We switched from Comodo to RapidSSL a few years ago. No need to use an intermediate cert -- it just works.

Subject: [SECURITY] Certificate vendors

We are currently using Thawte for all our certificates and Thawte is pretty pricey. Comodo’s pricing, by comparison, 
seems almost to good to be true. Is anybody using Comodo for their SSL certificates and have you anything particularly 
positive to say or, and more to the point, any warnings or red flags? 

Thanks,
