• The Best SSL Certificate Provider, Ever!

    Hi,
    If you're interested in securing your web server, whether its IRC, HTTPS,
    SSH, etc. then I have a service that will work well for you. I have tried several SSL cert providers, but after searchign and searching I have found
    this most excellent provider that explains in great detail the steps to purchase, configure, and implement/install certificates.

    The site is: www.gogetssl.com

    They offer SSL certificates from various providers such as Comodo, GoGetSSL, Symantec, GeoTrust, Thawte, and RapidSSL.

    My personal favorite choice is GoGetSSL's Domain SSL for $5/year or $9 for
    two years. They are compatible with 99.9% of browsers, unlimited server licensing, set up.implementation in five minutes, unlimited reissues, secures WWW and non-WWW. I run a secure SSH file server for a tech society I'm with and it was completely set up in less than fifteen minutes. I'm no pro at
    this, which is why it took me fifteen minutes rather than five, but it ended
    up working perfectly and the instructions were really straight forward and simple to understand. This will allow people to connect to your server and
    get the green lock beside your site name, which means the connection is
    secure and well-encrypted. Sometimes when sites have self-signed
    certificates and you're using Firefox to view the site you have to go to "advanced" and "add exception" to be able to view the material, which is
    highly annoying. So try this out and you'll give your users a great
    experience on your service and have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your connections are encrypted and not viewable my unauthorized third-parties. Again, I highly recomment www.gogetssl.com.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards,
    warmfuzzy

    Interesting I will have to check them out.

    At work, I always purchase (*)wildcard SSL certs for $79/year from Comodo
    who recently change their name.

    At home, I have been using LetsEncrypt which is free however it requires me
    to renew every 3 months.

    While the site may offer some good information on SSL/TLS (I haven't looked), I'm curious why anyone would use anything but Let's Encrypt at this point unless you're a high level enterprise site and want an EV cert, which will cost
    an arm and a leg anyway.

    Let's Encrypt is 100% free and runs a HUGE portion of the web now. Just need one of the *many* ACME compatible clients or such to use it -- they also offer wildcard certs these days.

    My hosting provider has a one-click installer and automatically renews my
    LE certs. Nice...
