SSL certificates.

Does anyone have a good recommendation on certificates? I was looking into Comodo and verisign. I really hate the network solutions company, but they do have some of the giant sites like paypal. I was wondering how important it is to display the SSL logo, and if brand type ever matter in statistics.

While I hate the verisign company, one of the comodo logos is ugly, and the other one they use in the corner is a little too in your face.

 

Big brands just allow your customers to put their trust in your site and be confident they will be safe in what they do.

You can get some from:

I would recommend GeoTrust, Equifax or Verisign.

I'm trying to remember where I saw it but it was a graph of the breakdown of SSL certificates but Certificate Authority. Verisign are the authority for something lik 60-70% of all certificates and Geotrust have most of the rest. Certificates that are not signed by one of those two make up 5-10% of all certificates.

I'll post the link if I can remember where it was.

 

Try RapidSSL. We use them, they are good.

 

Ahhh ! I've remembered (or rather, Google remembered for me) http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2007/10/26/netcraft_ssl_survey.html

The data is actually from June 2006 and this is just an advertisement for you to sign up for Netcraft's surveys but it still shows you what the state of play was back then.
