Best place to purchase Dedicated SSL?

[schooner]

Where is the best place to purchase a Dedicated SSL certificate for a domain that we can use here? Something that offers good price but also is a trusted supplier and a good SSL certificate.

For an inexpensive SSL I've always used RAPIDSSL from EV1 http://www.ev1servers.net/hosting/ssl/starterssl_details.asp

Are they reliable and a trusted?

 

[Penhall]

I've never had an issue with TRUST and have been very reliable. EV1 is a reseller of the rapidSSL certs and because of their volume they are much cheaper than buying from rapidssl themselves.

Great thanks. What is different abouthte vaious levels of SSL they sell? Is one better than another and if so why?

 

[Penhall]

I'm definitely not an expert in SSL certs but my understanding is that it's basically a more you pay the more "percieved" trust you get. Sorry, I really can't explain it better other than the better "known" an issuer is then the more it costs.

I found a guide of Verisign, that can help you to find answers of your SSL doubts.

Comodo, Verisign, Geotrust are big player in SSL. You can send a mail to their sales to get more information.

Thank you.

The cheap ones are given on the spot and don't require usiness identification.

The more expensive ones will require that you fax your DBA to prove that you are the owner of the business.

There is also insurance value.
