SSL Certificate

Anybody have any opinions on these three?

try godaddy?

I'd go with thawte if you can afford it. Thawte and verisign are the two names I trust the most. I'm not even sure that GeoTrust is a trusted root certifier, they might just resell another company's stuff.

Nevermind, didn't realize equifax was associated with geo.

doesn't verisign own thawte?

Geotrust, unlesss money is no object. They are a root certificate, and are not resellers.

There actually are a ton of resellers of them which sell the certs for cheaper than you can get them direct.

You might be right, but they still have separate certificate businesses for some reason.

Why not just set up a CA and publish your own certificate for free?

Because you want automatic acceptance by browsers. You can explain to your customers and clients why they need to click on the certificate popup, but why make them go through the hassle?

he never said what the application was. We have our own SSL cert for Citrix access, OWA access, and Exchange ActiveSync access and that's all we use it for. Every webhost I have had used their own as well. If you are marketing a website with SSL to the public, then sure, you need a trusted root cert
