    Hi,

    I'd like to put my entire site behind SSL (not just the checkout process).

    I've started looking to buy an SSL cert at the brands that sound familiar: GoDaddy, Verisign, Geotrust and so on.

    Each transactions should be relatively small (hundreds of dollars maximum). How can godaddy sell SSL cert for $20 while Verisign charges thousands of dollars? What's the big difference?

    I've read in this forums that they are all compliant with 99% of the browsers anyway.
