I have not had any issues with the validations (once you have an account you can validate a domain by sending an email to a predefined list of contact addresses) and the certificates are issued instantly."Your request is being held up for review by our personnel". Up to 6 hours. Must be their definition of instant :)It's nice to see that they actually do random reviews, rather than just issuing everything requested. I use startssl and have not had anything held for review.
I've had most of mine held, but almost always I get a response in side of 20 mins. Really, what I care about here is: 1) cert validates in almost all clients (mozilla/chrome/mail.app) 2) controlled/secured by my key, not something made up on the server side 3) not paying money for random bytes. it works and eddy's pretty quick on requests. -chris
