Wow, StartSSL will give me a free certificate that browsers accept without bugging the user? Are there any downsides to this?
Is that possible for the whole domain, so that when I get a cert for mydomain.com it also works for development.mydomain.com etc? Even when development.mydomain.com has a different IP then mydomain.com?
- tomkwok 11y agoThe major downside I know is that in case your private key is compromised and you want to revoke the certificate, you have to pay $24.90. > Even though StartSSL™ provides certificates generally free of charge, revocations thereof may carry a handling fee. Take great care of your private keys, save and backup all files all the time! See more on https://www.startssl.com/?app=37 https://www.startssl.com/?app=37
