Hello Toxik,
Many reasons:
1) The $25 ISP discount applies only to the first year
2) Thawte is owned by Verisign, which also owns NSI, and do you trust
them to keep that pricing at this level when they are competing with
themselves at $399/yr? Do you want them to have your customers in
their customer database, thus giving them implicit permission to
market to them?
3) Certs are not levels in the sense you mean. The Entrust CA
certificate, like the Equifax CA certificate, has been signed by
Thawte, which enables those CA's to work with older browsers without
error messages being sent to the users.
However, Tucows isn't competitive at $99 anyway, I'd recommend the
business partner program at Equifax as it stands right now.
