me to Geotrust, who was able to help. It was a problem with IIS on
Win2k, where you couldn't install renewal certificates. The solution
ended up being some foolishness where you had to create a duplicate
site, turn it off, install the approved cert, delete the site, and then
install cert on the running site. It was due to a very odd
implementation of the key manager by MS. Anyways, I got it running.
Next time we renew, I'll be sure to take a look at InstantSSL. Thanks
for the tip!

How is there support? I know Geotrust is M-F 9-5
I've never had a problem with Geotrust support, they are quick to
respond and always have the right answer but I know that something will
happen on a weekend or at 3am and I'll be hating life.

I've been using and recommending Rackshack.net myself. This morning I
dumped them after setting up a Comodo reseller account at
instantssl.com.
Rackshack recently lowered its price to US$29. However one thing
unstated is the renewal cert is full price: US$119 at present (its been
steadily going UP). If you try to renew via Rackshack's US$29 form
Geotrust will convert the submission to a US$119 renewal.
Add to that Rackshack recently started sending annoying renewal notices
every couple of weeks to the billing contact (me) and the admin contact
(the client). This morning I found four notices in my inbox that each
claimed a certain cert had expired "7 days ago" (none have expired yet).
So I dumped them for InstantSSL. I have a reseller account that lets me
instantly issue certs, priced at about $42 each. Over 2 years
InstantSSL is US$84 and Geotrust is US$148.
If you read various charts these certs have better ubiquity than
Geotrust (which needs IE5.01+ and isn't recognized by Opera), although I
never heard any complaints in the roughly 1 1/2 years I used them.
Just some Friday OT; sorry :-)
