We started using startSSL about two years ago (www.startssl.com) - get this, their regular 128-bit SSL certs are FREE. They have EV certs for about 1/3 the price of verisign, comodo, globalsign, etc. - Service is top notch and their products are as good as any other. I know, sounds too good to be true right? Please go have a look for yourself- I am no way affiliated with them, we were using Comodo before. Send them an email and ask some questions, I think you'll be impressed with their responses and level of knowledge. We're using their EV certs on our production-facing sites and their regular SSL certs for a ton of other things. I've seen absolutely no difference with their certs vs. anyone elses, other that we've saved a ton of money and recevied a better level of customer service. -Kurt On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 3:43 PM, Rob Tanner <rtanner () linfield edu> wrote:
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?
