They mention StartSSL for production certificates. Beware that while creating certificates with them is gratis, REVOKING them will cost you money. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140409/11442426859/shameful-security-startcom-charges-people-to-revoke-ssl-certs-vulnerable-to-heartbleed.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140409/11442426859/shame...
- 0XAFFE 11y agoThey actually have the most reasonable business model, as they only charge you for services where human interaction is required (fe checking your credentials or adding your certificate to the revocation list), anything else like signing your certificate is free.
- dchest 11y agoNote that StartSSL certificates are only free for "non-commercial" use, where "non-commercial" is not a clearly defined term, e.g. if you domain name contains businessy terms , such as "sell", they will refuse to issue a free cert.
- devNoise 11y agoI tried to setup some a SSL cert through StartSSL and hit the paywall when I wanted to create a cert for a sub domain. The fees to get class 2 verification cost more than buying a basic SSL elsewhere.
- r1ch 11y agoYou can do subdomains, but with only class 1 verification you are limited to one subdomain per cert and the root domain is also included.
