The SSL certificate for my web site is due to expire in a few days. I'm not beholden to my current certificate authority (CA) and my requirements are pretty standard:

* decent browser support
* modern crypto
* quick turnaround on requests

I have no problem using chained certificates if necessary.

So what CAs do you all favor these days?

NB: There is no non-public content on my site, but there is some information about crypto usage. Back when I was running the site without https, I received an e-mail message from someone claiming to live in a country with an oppressive regime. (The return address and SMTP headers supported that claim.) That person asked if I could add SSL support so s/he could read my crypto pages without setting off alarm bells in the regime's sniffing software. I figured for a few bucks a year it was worth it.
