Re: Which SSL Company? (Slightly OT)
Maybe reading a little deeper (broader) on the website and you could answer that question. :-( http://www.whichssl.com/html/who/index.html Dee W.D.McKinney (Dee) Alaska Wireless Systems http://3233667600 On Sun, 2003-05-25 at 04:15, Marc Haber wrote: > On Thu, 22 May 2003 12:32:33 +0200, Marcel Hicking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >For a comparison of SSL companies maybe check > >http://www.whichssl.com/comparisons/index.html > > That web site lists Comodo first, and it looks like they would like > readers to prefer Comodo.

We'll shortly be purchasing an SSL Cert for one of our clients who is going to be launching an e-commerce site, but I'm at a loss as to which company to buy the Cert from. I'd prefer to avoid Verisign out of general principal, not to mention the fact that their prices are pretty steep. Thawte is a consideration with MUCH cheaper prices, but again Verisign is in the picture. Anyone have any other suggestions? I remember Thawte contacting our customers directly when updates/resigning of their certificates was due, with a link to their online order form and thus bypassing us as a reseller. You can imaginge our sales guys where not exactly happy with this... Plus, Thawte (i.e. Thwate Germany in this case) was sometimes very difficult with checking the certificates of registration etc. when we had "non-standard" customers. when I tried to establish an automated reg process the technical support was more than anoying then. But that might have changed by now, I never tried again. For a comparison of SSL companies maybe check http://www.whichssl.com/comparisons/index.html I'd go for maximum browser compatibily. If you wnat a "trustable" shopping site it doesn't help much if only IE xy is supported and Mozilla or Opera choke on the certs. I have considered signing my own certs, but don't think the client would appreciate the barrage of dialogs popped forth from IE. Surly not. With the same effect you customer could sign the certs himself. Cheers, Marcel

My experience is that Thawte works ok, but is slower in signing and renewing certificates than Tucows. Both parties are accepted as a valid CA by most browsers, so I doubt people would experience issues with them. Regards, Teun Vink

I now use Thawte almost exclusively, unless the customers demands to have a Verisign cert. -- Cameron Moore [ One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. ]
