I would concur...QuickSSL is your best bet, it is fast, and pretty inexpensive. The cert will come with verification of the domain, but not the organization, but to most users, this point is moot. While the self-signed or freessl ones are *very* cheap (aka free in some cases) they can put up errors for your end users (depending on the situation) and this is the one thing that makes people pretty nervous.
Be aware though, that QuickSSL does not come with a seal, so if you intend to put a seal up on the control panel, you may want to go with QuickSSL Premium (which does come with a seal). But I suspect not :) Kim Phelan Product Manager, Digital Certificates Tucows, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of POWERHOUSE Sent: Tuesday, February 04, 2003 2:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Jennifer Subject: Re: Understanding the different ssl certs I personally would suggest a QuickSSL, since it's just a control panel, most people will not be TOO concerned with the QUALITY of the Security, since they will more then likely have a relationship with you. If they are new, they might pay attention to it, but for just adding things(non billing) it really is no big deal. I guess it would depend mostly what kind of control panel. However, for the majority of users(newbie's) they really would not know the difference or even how to check. Trust me, I used to work for AOL, TONS of people don't even know what a MOUSE IS ;o). AND since more and more new people join the web everyday, that is where most visitors come from. Just my 2 cents.
