Design is good. However, your on-sale price for Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard is $ 6.95 more expensive than Comodo’s own offering [1] [2].

  Thanks for the comment. Yes, you are absolutely right. Wildcard SSL is currently cheaper from Comodo because they have a promotion themselves. However, Business validated certificate is still significantly cheaper from us: $65.95 vs $99.95 [1]. Standard certificate is few dollars cheaper too.

I'm a SSL certificates newbie. What's the added value of using a SSL reseller, instead of buying directly from Comodo?

  Price and support. We want our customers to be satisfied.

To be honest, I expect someone trying to sell me a SSL certificate to be using an EV certificate on their own site.

  To be honest, I don't get your comment. Neither does GetSSL use a EV cert nor is the usage of EV certs limited to resellers.

  Exactly. Get one cert per domain including one subdomain for free, get as much as you can handle for $60 per 2 years. Compatible with every modern OS (so no old Windows XP). That offer can't really beat that.

    It works on my Windows XP. Not just Firefox/Chrome which have their own SSL libraries but old IE8 too. If IE6 is broken, I can accept that even on a large website.
    - somesay 13y ago
      Correct, Windows XP works fine with the latest Service Packs etc. Android supports it since version 2.x.

  Despite all the hubbub about spying by the NSA and Huawei, an Israeli company would be the absolute last* one that I would trust with my company's security. Alas, SSL, along with the DNS system, is just a massive internet racket. (*) Of course I exaggerate, but only slightly.

    Just another guy who talks about SSL without knowing the basics. I don't know what annoys me more: Someone how completely ignores cryptology and its security features or these guys who have such a dangerously low knowledge that they spread bullshit the whole day. In fact, you don't have to trust StartSSL at all. They securely give you a valid cert while you don't have to reveal your private key at any time. Your private key is either generated manually on your sever by yourself or within the browser, on client side. The important points are: StartSSL is trusted by all modern browsers and systems and they are cheap. There is nothing more to care about. In fact, _any_ trusted CA could be attacked and generate certs for man-in-the-middle attacks. So, stop your stupid prejudice here. Actually, a CA from the Netherlands got known for being corrupted some years ago.

Even with their sales, its still more expensive than NameCheap[1]'s $85 or $91 domain validated wildcard certs. http://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/comodo.aspx http://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/comodo.aspx

Website copy (the text) needs a bit of polish. I clicked around a bit to find out a bit more about you, and went "eek". Otherwise, I really like the layout of the site. It's simple and easy.
