I talked to both the host's support and Comonodo's support. The second cert wasn't a gift. It was last year's cert that just hand't been removed. I wonder why last year's was for example.com and this year's is for www.example.com. Comodo said that they have updated their PositiveSSL product such that you only need a single cert to secure both example.com and www.example.com. This is the product that my host purchased. > 2) The UTN cert is probably an intermediate SSL certificate.

You are correct. Interestingly though, the host thought that this intermediary cert was for last year's cert, opposed to a future-technology thing. _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
