One thing that always confuses me is the plethora of options for buying SSL certificates.
I understand the difference between a single domain and wildcard SSL. But, as an example, what's the difference between Positive SSL and Essential SSL (2 types of SSL certs sold by Namecheap) - Essential being about 3x the price.
- logn 12y agoI think at some point I contacted support about that. It generally comes down to one of a few issues: compatibility (mobile, different browsers, etc) steps taken to verify (via phone, email, fax, proof of business registration, etc) insurance (they'll offer various amounts of payment in liability insurance)
- nmjohn 12y agoIt is 99% marketing. For all practical and meaningful intents and purposes, there are no differences. Go with the cheapest, unless you need the features offered by wildcard/EV.
