My issue with SSL everywhere is that I have to effectively buy my domain twice: once for the domain, and one again for the certificate. My registrar should give me a wildcard certificate good for the time I've paid for my domain.
- drdaeman 12y agoMaybe because there isn't much of demand for that, yet. Shall the transition come and we'd all perceive HTTPS as a default, it's very likely registrars would also offer certificate signing.
- tootie 12y agoThe price wars for domain registration pushed the cost way down over the past few years. Certs are starting to move in the same direction. As volume picks up, they can cut margins. And some guys will start to treat it as baseline feature and not a buy-up.
- prawn 12y agoThis is my concern too. I manage 100+ clients registered and hosted in a variety of places (often because I'm inheriting their choice of host, registrar, etc). It's painful enough without adding SSL to the mix for even the littlest of sites.
