Or RapidSSL for $13-15 per year. http://www.namecheap.com/learn/other-services/ssl-certificates.asp
I bought a RapidSSL cert for our intranet yesterday and a QuickSSL cert for another site. Beside the domain name in the Subject, they're identical except for the entity listed as the Issuer. It's RapidSSL in one and GeoTrust in the other. That's all you're paying extra for. But RapidSSL is a division of GeoTrust and GeoTrust is now owned by Verisgn. The SSL certificate business is a racket. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Root" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2008 10:16 AM Subject: Re: OT: SSL Necessary?
