amitxox Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Rapid SSL Positive SSL toyicebear, how about the stuff that is publicized for like $12-15/yr from places like godaddy.com and register.com. why is that so cheap ? rapidssl is $79/yr cheapest. i am learning about this so wondering. amit
Jack_mcs Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Unless you want a fancier seal, go with the cheaper cert. Their purpose is for easing your customers mind, for the most part, so the extra cost just isn't justified.

Jack so what do you suggest ? another reason i am also going for this is because from what i hear it also benefits search engine rankings , is that true ? among the cheaper ones any suggestions ?
Jack_mcs Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 No, the cert has no affect on the search engines, unless you apply it to the whole site, which is a mistake. I don't think there is a big difference between any of the cert providers although now that godaddy is a cert authority, they have more controll over the cert and are able to, in my opinion, provide better support.

So a godaddy one should do just fine. Rapid SSL depends on where you get it as some Rapid SSl re-sellers sells them for less than 20 USD. Comodo Positive SSL is 49.90 USD For those who wish a higher degree of assurance then there are high assurance and EV SSL certs available, but those are quite a bit more expensive and when going for one of those then brand name does actually mather.
