Ask HN: cheap SSL Certificate with similarly cost effective renewals

2 pointsby devb0xover 12 years ago
Who are you using for SSL?<p>Not for processing cards, but for standard ssl security during form / signup type processes.<p>I see a provider offering $8 ssl but will I get a hefty price on renewal?

We buy our certificates from Bulkregister, $12.95/yr for single host (GeoTrust RapidSSL) and $89/yr for wildcard (Comodo Essential Wildcard). We paid for the maximum possible duration (4 and 5 years) and do not worry too much about renewals, we can always switch after that time if we see a better offer... StartSSL is free but limited to 1 year validity and too much paperwork/legalese for my taste.

I just bought two wildcards from sslmatic.com (I was pretty happy with their prices). Only downside is that you need to pay with paypal.
