Well, Comodo's had an okay track-record, if I recall correctly. But I also don't recall them being cheap.

- sandGorgon 10y agoi have been seriously considering comodo. Their wildcard is not priced all that bad.
- looklittlejohn 10y agoAccording to the this survey I'm ruthlessly stealing from another comment, they have the biggest market share right now: https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/ssl_certificate https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/ssl_certif...
- lukegb 10y agoThat might be because they're the CA underlying Cloudflare's automated SSL issuance - at least for free tier customers.

- tdumitrescu 10y agoComodo, as in the Comodo which tried to trademark "Let's Encrypt" last year? https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/06/800-pound-comodo-tries-to-trademark-upstart-rivals-lets-encrypt-name/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/06/800-pound-comodo...
- tobltobs 10y ago> Comodo's had an okay track-record, I am not sure what standards apply to companies in this segment, but Comodo has an awful track record imho. Just looking at the Wikipedia article gives me a shill. And those are only the cases where Comodo couldn't deny any wrongdoing or failure.
- Tepix 10y agoHaven't they been hacked more than once?
- agwa 10y agoOne of Comodo's registration authorities was breached, but not Comodo themselves. Comodo were able to detect the breach and cut off the compromised RA because they were monitoring what their RAs were doing. Symantec, on the other hand, didn't know that their RAs were mis-validating certificates until I noticed and told them. (Registration authorities are third parties that perform certificate validation on behalf of the CA. I think Comodo bears some responsibility for delegating validation to an RA that was compromised, but Symantec's conduct has been so much worse in comparison.)

- throwaway1992 10y agoIt wasn't one but three authorities which have been breached. And maybe you should disclose that you are a Comodo reseller.
- agwa 10y agoI used to be a Symantec reseller too before I realized how bad they were. I only do business with CAs which I actually believe are good.
