these days there are essentially two types of SSL cert, DV and EV DV = domain validated. anyone can get one. this is the same idea for the $9 SSL certs and free letsencrypt. you only need to prove you control the domain/server it's issued for.
EV = extended validation, you need to prove your corporate identity. should cost around $85/year. EV will result in the big green banner with company name in most modern web browsers. https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=EV+SSL+certificate&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 11:59 AM, Steve Jones <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> wrote: > tbh, im not really looking for alternative sources, im asking advice on > what i need in a certificate > > On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 1:52 PM, Cameron Crum <cc...@murcevilo.com> wrote: > >> ssls.com >> >> On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 1:02 PM, Steve Jones <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> Im no webdude is the main reason.
