A new thread because we were getting a bit off track from Indy’s thread.
[quote name=‘Noman’]AlphaSSL office is 5min walk away from my place and I know Gareth in person. If someone is interested how to become a reseller or needs a personal touch, PM me.[/QUOTE]
Noman,
I once accidently set up an ssl cert incorrectly and while it worked fine,
visitors to www.mysite received error messages…
So the idea of a cert that goes both ways is interesting, also the extra abilities with mobile devices is very interesting.
I get many messages from hand held devices
Tell us a little about Gareth he sounds like a genius in terms of setting for mobile abilities which is becoming more popular.
AlphaSSL is OK, but on a long run, I found ENOM cheaper and easier to manage. That’s why no longer with them. The 10$ SSL from ENOM works perfect with any mobile devices. We have Samsungs with WinMobile 6, iPhones and HTC Hero. All of them wotk perfectly with DirectPush from MS Exchange. Also, OWA and remote Outlook work perfectly.

Interesting, so the old standard $10 Rapid SSL will work with mobile devices.
Good news.
Now the last point is the www and non www webaddress that Alpha seems to have covered. Will our trusty old Rapidssl now do the same? As it did not in the past.

Hello Folks,
Let’s continue…
ENOM:
Noman sent a message in the other tread about SSL certificates from ENOM:
DreamHost says you’re welcome to use any compatible certificate (Apache2 with mod_ssl is the certificate type.)
ABOUT SSL SEAL from Comodo, you can see they are just IMAGES. Nothing else. If you click in it it will not show any information. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
I asked them what of Comodos certificate they provides, they answered:
“We offer the InstantSSL certificate. It doesn’t come with all the extras listed on their site though, it’s just the certificate.”
I asked them:
“Is your COMODO certificate a chained (more secure) one”?
They haven’t answered me yet.

StartSSL
I think this is the cheapest one (untill now). They have free certificates, but a problem about BROWSER support.
AlphaSSL is owned by GlobalSign, the second oldest Certificate Authority (CA) next to VeriSign. As they are the second oldest CA, their SSL certificates are recognized by 99% of all web browsers.
AlphaSSL certificates are chained certificates. This means they provide the same level of acceptance but with a higher level of security than single-root certificates such as RapidSSL. In fact, Paypal uses a chained certificate for their own website.

So, we have a cheaper ssl certificate with a good difference.
But is it chained or not?
Noman, could you show how ssl certificate SEAL (from enom) looks in a website?
I just heard another point of view about root vs chained certs.:
Root certificates are safer as if a provider changes the root of a chained cert. your chained SSL cert will not work until you upload a new root for the chained certificate.
I heard that this has already happened with Godaddy once.
Now to be fair what is the argument for chained certs. being safer?
If we follow Nomans idea of redirecting to avoid the www vs no www problem and listen to his experience of no problem with the mobile devices combined with the possible superior safety of a single root cert than the US $10 (not Euros0 rapid ssl cerst seem to be a winner.
I’ve never said I have a seal on my website. The SSL with seal would cost me 99$ and I don’t need it. I use the one for 10$. However, I have sent to Traveler 5 websites to check with 10$ SSL from Enom and 49$ from AlphaSSL installed.
The one with seal is a QuickSSL Premium. See here, how to install it

Seals are interesting as many seem to feel that they can help a bit. But do you lose sales based on lost space? Possible. Also whose seal does nor seem to matter much. Example it could be better business seal or perhaps a self created seal from Dragon designs.
This one (from Noman) is from GeoTrust and this one: [url]http://www.dynadot.com/ssl/about.html[/url] is from RapidSSL. I am not sure, but I think GeoTrust is more known than RapidSSL company. And 9.95 is less than 15.99
In this case, we can see a dynamic image from RapidSSL certificate.
In past post I attached one image from GeoTrust (Noman talked about) ssl certificate and he said it can be dynamic or static.
[QUOTE]Example it could be better business seal or perhaps a self created seal from Dragon designs.[/QUOTE]
I think the same. But one thing I think is interesting is the costumer click in the banner and see something showing that website do has a SSL Certificate and not just the IMAGE.
I don’t know any company on web which sell RapidSSL for $10 except eNom there you have to make deposit of $100.[/QUOTE]
Indy,
Thank you for your update.
It looks like if someone wanted a Rapid SSl cert. for only one year you have a good price today, although your standard price seems quite high. I pay no attention to the suggested retail price.
I always buy 5 or more years at a time so that is no problem, so Enom is quite a bit cheaper than your prices it seems.
To be fair to you what is your price for 10 years? Can you match the $100 price. Note I am not asking you to beat the price only match the price.

No, the price is not to high. Did you compare with e.g. 10 other companies? Do it, and post here the average price.
Here are just a few of my research:
$17.95
$19.95
£30.00
$19.95
$19.99
$17.95
$10.95
-----------
Our Price: $14
Sorry, but I will not compare our prices with some other “resellers” here what don’t know the main terms of a product. RapidSSL can’t be offered for more as 5 years. I don’t know where this idea comes from.
If you will find any company which offers less then $9.90 let me know. I will make a business with them.
