I'm guessing that these "limits" actually are just marketing-speak that refer to a couple of things that are more suited to smaller/medium sized sizes:
- Warranty amount ($10k on the PositiveSSL certificate)
- Single domain
- Only domain validation
Larger e-commerce stores may need wildcard or multiple domain certificates, a higher warranty amount, organization, or extended validation (the green bar in the address bar). There isn't any inherent limitation to bandwidth or traffic with these certificates.
- spacefight 12y agoI never understood the thing with the warranty at all. Isn't it just a marketing gag? Or has anyone ever been able to claim the money from a CA for whatever reason?
- tedivm 12y agoBasically a marketing gig, as the terms to collect tend to be ridiculous. Look at Comodo for instance. To collect their insurance policy they have to issue a certificate to someone who isn't you, and then that certificate has to be used to steal someone's money. In that case they may actually already be liable, but they're saying they'll just give you up to $10,000 to deal with it. > We believe it is important to protect the end user. If we were to mis-issue a certificate to a fraudulent site, that fraudulent site has an SSL link with an end user and as a result of this the end user loses money the end user had what they thought was a "trusted session". Comodo should never have provided the fraudster with the ability to engineer this situation we therefore have insurance to pay the end user for any losses that they may incur.
