My host also provides them for free, along with a free domain name registration and incremental increases in my disk space and bandwidth each week at no charge....they sucked me in too, but its been a great experience with them....5 years....the longest I've ever been with a hosting company!
I just got me an account with M6.NET --- they are pretty good for like $8.00 a month... 10GB space, 200GB Bandwidth... but yeah they offer SSL certificates. I'd like to own an VeriSign SSL certificate cause of an certain reason (they have an whitepaper that I read about SSL w/ SGC which means the SSL cert is good for all browsers, all other PC versions and all of that.) But they are expensive.
If anything, I'd pay the $75 for a InstantSSL Premium with a $250,000 warranty (I believe) or pay a little higher for a $1,000,000 warranty SSL certificate. If anything, I'd just want an reliable SSL cert basically.
P.S. When considering an SSL, for those who don't know, don't forget to get an dedicated IP from your host, costs a little more a month but is good.
God be with anybody who gets an SSL certificate from them.
Okay, now on to next business:
1. GoDaddy certificates are good and useful, but of course, who all is going to trust their security in an GoDaddy issued SSL (if you knew of all the "affiliate" GoDaddy sites selling them, you'd know that its not such a "unique" SSL certificate.
2. VeriSign is trusted by a majority of the Fortune 500 companies (including PayPal I believe and Amazon) so they must be something good.
3. ++++++++ VeriSign has SGC on their SSL certificates (meaning that even browsers that can only encrypt at 40-bits can encrypt at 128-bits and 256-bits when permissable)
I choose VeriSign if you ask me, or pay the $995 a year and get a $250,000 warranty, but I doubt for my business there would be anything over $100,000 (my cash flow note broker business)
