I buy from Thawte. Why? Verisign irritated the @#!&* out of me. I found
them arrogant, unresponsive, and overpriced. Seems only fitting that they
acquired Network Solutions. Unfortunately, Verisign also acquired
Thawte. I wrote a letter to Thawte explaining my fears about their quality
going down if they were acquired by Verisign, and I got a very well thought
out response from Thawte's CEO less than a day later. Very professional
and considerate company in my opinion.
The only issues I might see with Thawte are the fact they have less brand
recognition in the US (although they are very big abroad), they are based
in South Africa (they have a US office) and they like conducting support
via web-based IRC. I found there support to be quite good, and their
prices are 1/3 of Verisign. Good enough reasons for me.
