SSL Certificate Authority Question

I am a big fan of cheap trusted certificates.  

I have used DigiCert, Thawte, and GeoTrust without any trust problems, but
switched to GoDaddy a few years ago.  They have consistently offered
standard SSL certificates for less than $20 a year and sometimes for as low
as $13, but in the last 6 to 12 months they have raised their prices to
nearly $30.  I did find that if I Googled for "cheap ssl certificates"
GoDaddy would come up with an ad for "$12.99 GoDaddy SSL" but for new
certificates only.  I have pasted the link here.  I hope it will work for
all of you and is not tied to my browser session.

On the other hand, just a few weeks ago I purchased my first certificate
from http://www.ksoftware.net/ssl_certs.html.  They are offering COMODO
signed certificates for less than $19.  Over the long haul they may end up
taking my business away from GoDaddy.
