[ubuntu-uk] Extended Validation SSL cert provider
Hi all, I know it's a bit off-topic but I'm sure some of you have gone through this. I am looking at buying an Extended Validation SSL certificate and wondered if anybody had a CA and reseller that they would recommend. From a CA perspective I was considering GeoTrust as they are a lot cheaper than the competition but I'm wondering whether there are any gotchas with a cheap certificate. From a reseller perspective, I would also like a UK or European reseller to make things simpler. Thanks for any suggestion. Cheers, Bruno -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Geotrust are probably the best bet as they have a UK (or at least European) helpdesk who are very helpful with getting EV through and the certificates sorted out. The difference in cost doesn't amount to much, possibly the amount of indemnity cover. Check if that's a major requirement. The one thing I always tell people when getting any certificate is make sure that the contact details on your Companies House record are correct and that you can access the phone whose number is on it. You don't want to, for example, go digging around in a server room trying to hook up the only analogue phone in the building to the point that the company phone number is on in order to forward it to your VoIP system. Not that I've ever done anything like that. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood TBA are particularly glib -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Yes i would go with Geotrust as well. As it's an EV certficate there are extra hurdles to just to get one, but its not that difficult as Simon Said.
