There are quite a few places willing to cell you certificates for $100 or less, but the problem is that those usually cause big red error-messages to pop up on the users' screen. I buy my certificates from GlobalSign <http://www.globalsign.com/>, which sells them to me for ¤175/yr.

Most browsers don't recognise them (bloody monopoly :-/) and pop up doomsday warnings... - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't CC me, I am [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribed to the list.
