It has been a while since I have bought an SSL cert. I used to use Comodo. They're alright, but nothing special.<p>Is there an SSL provider that people actually like?
Hi Galen,<p>If you use Stripe, Twitter, npm, or your bank, you'll see the company name in a green bar. That's an EV certificate and is the only way for a website to prove a company's identity.<p>EV certs are great, particularly if you're selling something or people are logging into your site.<p>Since they involve a bunch of verification, the industry standard time get the certificate is normally about 7-21 days.<p><a href="https://certsimple.com" rel="nofollow">https://certsimple.com</a>, my company, live checks data while you enter to do EV in an average of 5 hours. It takes 80 seconds to apply, including making the CSR - no Q and A in a terminal, no installing anything, just cut and paste.<p>Because of this, we're faster at EV than everyone else.<p>We also give 5% of our revenue to groups that make strong crypto happen - we cut our first cheque to OpenBSD Foundation last Friday. We also publish a bunch of interesting research around performance and security at <a href="http://certsimple.com" rel="nofollow">http://certsimple.com</a>, including OSS code to recreate our results.<p>Hope that helps! Email me any time at mike@certsimple.com if you have questions.<p>Mike<p>PS. if you don't need EV, we recommend you get a free certificate from <a href="http://letsencrypt.org" rel="nofollow">http://letsencrypt.org</a> which should be launching soon.
sslmate is the one I'd suggest. They are cheap, easy to use, developer friendly, and no BS. <a href="https://sslmate.com/" rel="nofollow">https://sslmate.com/</a>
We use <a href="https://www.gandi.net/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gandi.net/</a> for all domains and SSL certs and have no complaints.
Comodo is cheapest CA now and provide highest web security. 256 bit encryption, unlimited reissue, unlimited server license and best support.
Try <a href="https://comodosslstore.com/" rel="nofollow">https://comodosslstore.com/</a> to find best ssl deals.
I use and have suggested <a href="https://www.startssl.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.startssl.com/</a> to several folks, who have all had good experiences. You do need to watch out for their login process, as it's certificate-based. Lose your login cert and you're in trouble. Tradeoff is cost.
