For years I have been using a self-signed certificate for the secure tools area of my site for my customers. I have accompanied this with a message explaining how to ignore and click through the warnings. I figure it's about time I improve this by throwing some money at the cert cartel (as dirty as it makes me feel) since prices have become accessible enough. (Before now, it just hasn't been worthwhile in my mind.) I can throw 19 bucks at GoDaddy to do this. Can someone give me a reason why I might want to consider setting myself up to resell the Geotrust certs through Tucows, at the higher cost? -b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
