Good Article
After several searches your article was the only one I found that talks about several SSL providers. Although I never heard of Digicert or Comodo here iin the US. Thx
Thank You
Using shared SSL
I'm using shared ssl given by my web hosting company. But i think i gonna change to dedicated SSL pretty soon
Cost and Such
A while back I did quite a bit of research when I was working with a client. Initially I was their New Jersey Photographer but latter got involved in the website development. At the time there was not much difference in the products offered but merely a price and trust issue. Godday changed the market for the better offering cheaper products across the line. Some tried to rely on trust but really there all the same thing. If you think it will cost you a client then maybe you need a name. Also there are hacker safe certification that add a layer of trust as well.

A Name
deliberate obfuscation
It seems to be not widely known (largely because they try to hide it) that Verisign actually owns Thawte. And GeoTrust.
They hide the fact well on their home pages, you have to dig into the legal notices to find this info. And that is relatively new - until mid 2008 there was no mention at all!
Personally i would recommend instantssl.com (comodo). It is cheaper and simpler to set up than VS, Thawte or GeoTrust. And I like the fact that they are honest enough to make the fact it is owned by Comodo nice and clear on their logo. To quote Thawte's slogan "It's a trust thing". Thawte of course would prefer to talk about trust while hiding the fact it is actually owned by VS.
GlobalSign CA
I've been doing a lot of research on SSL providers and came across one called GlobalSign. Have you researched this company at all? Do you have any additional information on Digicert?
Thanks,
Denise
