Re: SSL certificate purchasing

["King, Ronald A." <raking () NSU EDU>]

We use some of StartSSL's free EDU signed certs for web and email.

 

We are looking to move toward becoming a member of InCommon and make use of
their certificate service.  One price and access to create our own.  Plus,
the service is primarily for higher ed.

We don't have enough SSL certs around to qualify for one of the "get as many
as you want for one price" deals, but the costs do seem high for
non-essential sites. Has anyone used a reseller for cheaper prices like
namecheap of GoGetSSL? They offer the basic Thawte SSL123 certs for $35 a
year, which is considerably cheaper than the $149 Thawte lists.
