wrong. I suppose you could get a corrupted file of something, but if
that happens you'll most likely have bigger problems that will need a
full system restore to fix. I think the only kind of support most server
admins would need is installation support. Unless you're in a hurry,
with email support, google, and this list you should be fine.
If you are in a hurry, you can grab a test certificate from VeriSign
that's good for a week. When VeriSign calls to ask why you didn't buy a
cert from them, be sure to tell them that you found another vendor that
charges far less. (I'm hoping that enough people will stop paying such
exorbitant prices that they will drop the cost to something reasonable.)

How is there support? I know Geotrust is M-F 9-5
I've never had a problem with Geotrust support, they are quick to
respond and always have the right answer but I know that something will
happen on a weekend or at 3am and I'll be hating life.

I've been using and recommending Rackshack.net myself. This morning I
dumped them after setting up a Comodo reseller account at
instantssl.com.
Rackshack recently lowered its price to US$29. However one thing
unstated is the renewal cert is full price: US$119 at present (its been
steadily going UP). If you try to renew via Rackshack's US$29 form
Geotrust will convert the submission to a US$119 renewal.
Add to that Rackshack recently started sending annoying renewal notices
every couple of weeks to the billing contact (me) and the admin contact
(the client). This morning I found four notices in my inbox that each
claimed a certain cert had expired "7 days ago" (none have expired yet).
So I dumped them for InstantSSL. I have a reseller account that lets me
instantly issue certs, priced at about $42 each. Over 2 years
InstantSSL is US$84 and Geotrust is US$148.
If you read various charts these certs have better ubiquity than
Geotrust (which needs IE5.01+ and isn't recognized by Opera), although I
never heard any complaints in the roughly 1 1/2 years I used them.
Just some Friday OT; sorry :-)
