Interesting that they aren't doing it the same way as Apple, where you pay to be part of the program and they provide all the certificates. Certainly seems cheaper at $100/yr compared to the prices of these certs.
Also why are these certs so much more expensive compared to a normal SSL certificate?
- munchbunny 6y agoIt's because the companies or developers buying them can afford them, because they're usually selling software.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoAlso why are these certs so much more expensive compared to a normal SSL certificate? There is some manual intervention, you usually end up with phone calls and emailing documents to and fro before the certificate is issued. I last renewed mine in 2017, I'm dreading doing it next year as I don't have a public phone number which always causes problems. Sticking sharpened pencils in my eyes would probably be a more pleasurable experience.
- WorldMaker 6y agoMicrosoft provides an option to do exactly that. Microsoft Store will handle all the certificates for you for $100/year and their Store cut is smaller than Apple's if you decide to sell through the Store.
