I'm a huge fan of startssl free certs. There are two organizations that offer free certs - startssl and letsencrypt. Startssl has been around a lot longer, and I don't think letsencrypt deserves all the hype (nothing against letsencrypt; just saying they're overhyped, considering the existence of an older, more stable, free alternative has already been around this long). The one complaint I sometimes hear from people about startssl is that revokations are not free, but the way I figure it is like this: Letsencrypt is still beta. The next cheapest certs are $11 with revokation included. So what's the probability of needing a revokation? Suppose it's a 1% or even 10% probability, then on average, startssl free certs are still cheaper than the next best alternative. Namecheap offers $9 Comodo PositiveSSL (Don't use it). Because it uses two intermediates, you run into client compatibility problems, because apparently a lot of software distributors don't test their product on multiple intermediates. Also, it's comodo that you said you want to avoid. Namecheap also offers $11 RapidSSL, which I recommend as the 2nd alternative to startssl. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
