EV1's $19.99 SSL Cert

[rabid_nerd]

Installed fine for me.. Just noticed my SSL cert expired literally 2 hours ago. Took an hour or two to shop around, decide on EV1 (which also became my host in the past year), and now get the cert and install it...

Had I not waited until it expired, I could have got it for free:

$19.99 SSL:

I just installed it on my secure server:

using WHM/cPanel

Caveats: I live in the U.S. and have my own server, making things easier. They had to call for me to vocally approve the certificate, but it was instant and computerized.

Cool, didnt know chained ssl worked like that

 

[aww]

For sites that aren't worried about Opera users or shoppers with old netscape (will they EVER upgrade?) this would seem to be a good deal.... thanks for the tip!

You know the little lock graphic you get in your browser when you go onto PayPal or other secure sites? Your URL also changes to HTTPS. That's SSL. It's part encryption and part "certification".
