You just can't beat 30 minutes or so - counting the cert request generation on the server - which is how fast GeoTrust does it. I thought I was getting a good deal at $80 as a reseller. Now I see from another post someone else is retailing the things for $49.
One thing to watch out for is that QuickSSL certs are restricted to v4.x+ browsers. If you want the same kind of compatibility from thawte/verisign you need the $159 ''premium'' version. --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc., www.mysecretbase.com --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: "Kevin Langevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Tue, 9 Jul 2002 15:19:53 -0400 I recently obtained a Thawte cert for a client, and they were FAST. I contacted them by phone after submitting the request and the info aboutthe company. I didn't have the company's articles of incorporation or some other doc that was required...I forget which. While I was on the phone, the rep I was talking to went to the D&B site, found the company's entry, verified theinfo in the request, and two days later the info was double verified (it goes through two people for a check & balance). The next day I had the cert. It took a total of about 6 days, including a Saturday and Sunday. Not all requests will be this fast, most likely, but they were very helpful and responsive. I wouldn't be surprised at a price increase, though...they've got a lot of breathing room to keep the price down below their parent company (Verisign). Still not sure why they haven't just absorbed Thatwe and kept just one cert service. -Kev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim McAtee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 2:42 PM Subject: Re: SSL > Thawte recently announced a substantial price increase, although it's not yet > reflected on their web site.
