SSL Certificate - Where From?

Hi,

I need to but an SSL certificate as one of my customers requires taking credit card details online to process through his PDQ machine.

My first question is where is the cheapest place to buy one from? and also how to i set this up when i have it?

Cheers,
Adam

 

1 : do a google search
2 : in your site panel (cpanel, plesk).

 

Both Namecheap.com and GoDaddy.com sell pretty cheap SSL Certificate.

 

Hello, You might want to take a look at this web site http://www.whichssl.com/comparisons/index.html

GoDaddy or Comodo offer some of the cheapest SSL certificates. You can compare them at http://www.sslshopper.com/cheapest-ssl-certificates.html

However, if you are selling anything online, you may be able to get some more sales on your site if you get a High Assurance certificate rather than a domain-validated only certificate. You will have to prove the legitimacy of your business but that can be worth it.

 

as I know, RapidSSL is the cheapest one. The price was about 29$ per year as I remember.

 

Comodo is the second largest CA and has fantastic support and browser compatibility.

 

Maye godaddy, its price is reasonable .....

 

I have purchased it from godaddy. I have just installed on my clients server

 

Cheers for your advice i think i will go through GoDaddy. What is the best way to set this up on my site via cpanel? Also does it secure the whole site or not?

Cheers,
Adam

 

I have installed it using cpanel. You can select that too

 

I have now bought and installed this via cpanel. My question is not though how do i activate this? Will the certificate secure the whole site of just one section?

 

I bought on for my hosting site www.techentrance.com

it's not about the cheapest, it's about something that is secure and trusted

Rapidssl is a big name in ssl industry

 

godaddy sells quite cheap

 

I have used one from godaddy easy to install using cpanel

 

Please see above...

 

If price is an issue and you can generate you own CSR, check out this page. However, which ssl also helped us to decide to use Comodo.

 

Chances are you bought it for www.example.com. Just point a link to the secure - https://www.example.com and this will call the page in a secure fashion.

If you are using Google Analytics though on that page, chances are you are calling it in an unsecure fashion:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Code (markup):

But you will want to make sure you call this in a secure manner:

<script src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  _uacct="UA-XXXXXX-X";
  urchinTracker();
</script>

Code (markup):

So users do not get a message about secure and non-secure items on the same page.

 

Thanks for that works a treat now.
