Thawte wants to charge me $249 just to renew - I paid $50 for the certificate last year.
I heard you can get them free from CA Authority but when I looked it up, they have some procedure where you have to know someone who is a CA and attend their events, (which are mostly in Europe or California).
- vlad 19y agoI think the cheapest ones are from comodo.com , $179.
- juwo 19y agothat is ridiculous. all they are doing is calling you up to verify you are from where you say you are, and doing a quick lookup. At the time of purchase. After that, it is just the certificate file.
- vlad 19y agoWell, when IE 6 and Vista first came about a couple of years ago, I could not find code-signing certificates listed anywhere except comodo.com and verisign.com. They are being offered in more places now, but also for a lot more money. It's $500 for 3 years from comodo.com--that's only a savings of about twenty dollars a year. I believe multi-year savings used to be much more substantial before. Yet more reasons to create web applications.
