I'll also vouch for Geotrust (and Tom Henault). We use them for some of
our public facing servers (we use our own for our internal servers). The
whole process is done on-line with immediate certificate issuance.
Billing can be done to a credit card.

Hello,



We have always used Verisign certificates on our web servers but we are
getting extremely frustrated with their pricing and billing issues.
We've been shopping around for other SSL certificate providers.



Does anyone have any feedback on your experience with other SSL
providers?

Kerry,

For over two years we have been using GeoTrust for our certificates and save
greater that $80,000 per year.  We act as the local RA and approve all
request against our bulk order.

Contact Tom Henault <tomh () geotrust com> 781-292-4135 at GeoTrust to see what
they might be able to do for you at Philadelphia University.
