Cheap SSL certs?

albertdbalbertdb Member
edited April 2013 in General

Hi,

Two days ago, Joel commented on the BandwagonHost offer that there are Positive SSL certs that can be bought for $3/year.

I've spent an entire afternoon searching but unfortunately I haven't found such an incredible offer.

Do you know where to get $3 SSL certs?

StartSSL free cert is not an option, they are only for individuals.

Thanks!

    Namecheap runs $1.99 (for the first year) specials fairly often, but I don't think they have one at the moment. GoGetSSL is cheaper the rest of the time.

    But only first year...

    Really cheap!

    @tommy said: why don't ask him directly ? search this forum?

    I asked him in the comments of the offer, but I haven't received any answer. Also I searched in this forum, but the search engine is next to terrible.

    Maybe Joel sees this post and clarifies where he found the $3 certs.

    Thanks to all!

  • is really worth having a ssl site?

    i have on my main site, but customers dont care as i see.

  • @dedicados said: is really worth having a ssl site?

    The SSL certs have other purposes than serving sites securely. FTPS/FTPES is a good example.

  • http://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/exclusive-positive-ssl-offer.aspx

    Its USD1.99 for the first year. But now they need a domain / hosting purchase these days...

    I use SSL to secure web server ( https), smtp server, imap/pop3 server, ftp server ( SFTP), cPanel + WHM ( for shared hosting servers).

    Wouldnt you pay $2-10/yr to secure so many ports and data transfer via them??

  • ^^ Namecheap gives free SSL certs on any domain purchases. I think the $1.99 is for old domains still registered with namecheap that didn't get the free SSL offer.

  • wdqwdq Member

    Find a domain coupon and you can transfer a domain to Name Cheap and add on an SSL cert for $10. They also offer the SSL for $8 without the domain.

  • $2 ssl for NameCheap is good.

    startssl class 2? wildcard, multidomain, etc

  • @albertdb said: where to get $3 SSL certs?

    Go to namecheap and order reseller hosting for 1 month ( currently 1USD) and then add positive ssl for 1.99.

    You can also buy an info domain and get ssl for 1.99 and free whoisguard

  • @albertdb I just grabbed a new Godaddy cert for $5.99 I needed last night, I like their tools and the name

    Just signed up to post this? $298 for 2 years is a rip off, probably a reseller?

    http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx
    2 years - $74.99/year - $149.98 for 2 years (and you can normally find 20-40% promo codes to get it even cheaper)

  • I wasnt aware of this thread till today. Yes, GoGetSSL was the one I used. It's a Comodo PositiveSSL at $3.95 per year. That's the cheapest I've seen so far.

  • @albertdb GoDaddy.

    wat

  • limilawlimilaw Member

    I can't see any diff between StartSSL Class1 and Godaddy Class2. Both are just for domain name validation. Won't include org name.
    As for FTPS, these cert works well with lftp, but not so well with FileZilla and FlashFXP. FileZilla always prompts a notice and never check validity. FlashFXP checks validity, but still prompts. Therefore the experience is nothing diff from self-signed certs for these two clients.
