Hi, all, and thanks for replying Nick, I appreciate the followup. After thirty years of development, I can honestly say two things. First that the process of developing for the web is for anything of scale way too complicated and needs simplifying by the big guns such as Google. Secondly, I am used to but tired of bad processes and have read the docs, in fact I have read hundreds of pages of Google docs in my time, some of which are better than others. In this particular case I did read a lot of docs and I'm a reasonably intelligent idiot. However, it's not just the docs, it's the over complicated and as you said convoluted process. It almost as though it's one of those infamous Google tests to see if you're good enough to get a job there. Obviously I'm not :) As for being calm, I am as calm as can be expected after a regular 12+ hours a day of developing... etc. etc.
Anyway, I am looking at what Cloudflare has to offer, but I can wait until the end of the month as my site is on beta at the moment. If indeed, Google can simplify the whole process considerably and be competitive in terms of monthly fees for SSL then I prefer to go with a single supplier. Would I be correct in the assumption that this new process avoids having to acquire a Google Apps account? Kaan, thanks for the feedback, and yes, Cloudflare seems to be very economical in comparison. I am surely looking into it.
