Good info, Eric. AFAIK, you cannot EV and wildcard...Just something to consider. I'm not a fan of wildcards anyway, but a few subject alt names can be handy. Plan ahead!

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<mailto: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<mailto:cc...@murcevilo.com>> wrote: ssls.com<http://ssls.com> On Mon, Apr 9, 2018 at 1:02 PM, Steve Jones <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com<mailto:thatoneguyst...@gmail.com>> wrote: Im no webdude is the main reason.

For some time web browsers have been throwing up the insecure flag, probably needed to update it. What does a guy need in a certificate these days? godaddy is where we have it from, they have all kinds of options like green bar guarantee cert, etc. I have thought about getting one thats good for more than one page, just to get rid of the annoying security screen on our managment port and mobile. but the wildcard cert seems more pricey than id prefer for something thats just convienient rather than needed
