Cheap Wildcard SSL Certificate

Hey!

I know this question gets asked all the time, but the other threads contain outdated information/links and/or offers.

So; where's the best place to get a wildcard SSL certificate?

Thank you.

  • https://www.gogetssl.com/ I think it was around £35 + tax for a GGSSL wildcard (Which is acutally comodo anyway) last time I looked.

    no, few thread still up to date, per pricing.

    VMBox too have Free WildCard SSLs with their VMs.

  • Wildcard SSL is not that popular now, people hunting multi-domain SSL now, since we own many domain every year and using single VPS and 1 dedicated IP #lol

  • LeapNikhilLeapNikhil Member, Host Rep

    Check SSL certificates here :- http://leapswitch.com/ssl/

  • @HostMyBytes said:

    Setup a intermediate certificate, your SSL isn't configured properly.

  • @FlamesRunner Thanks, I'll make sure we get this fixed

  • I can still give away some free AlphaSSL wildcards. PM with CSR (*.domain.tld as CN) and setup hostmaster/webmaster/admin@domain or I can use the email of whois for verification.

  • @Akito Actually 3 CHF? https://sinavps.ch/


    Well CHF is roughly equal to USD but a bit bigger now lol

  • Amazing how cheap SSL became after "let's encrypt" was announced.. or were they always this cheap? (wildcard I mean)

    No, SingleHop has had a partnership with Verisign for a while. VPS providers are just reselling SSL certificates meant for their network.

  • Any chance we can get a 3 year cert for that price range?

    AlphaSSL certificates will provide you with 2048 bit root strength and 256 bit encryption strength. Normally retails at $149/yr

    Eh? I thought the "root strength" depends on the private key and the "encryption strength" on the used ciphers? Can't use CSR with hmb? Could anyone enlighten me? Thanks. :)

    [have only used self signed certificates so far]

    This guy had the same exact question as you. http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/19473/understanding-2048-bit-ssl-and-256-bit-encryption

    4n0nx said: Can't use CSR with hmb?

    What do you mean by hmb?

    I think they are talking about their own certificate, not yours.

    As for the root strength, I would refer to the stack exchange article. This is a claim also made by AlphaSSL themselves on their website.

    You can use (and in fact we require) a CSR if you order an SSL from us.

    Went with @HostMyBytes, support response time is fairly quick, too.

    +1

    P.S. thank you to those that posted.

    Well they have to invent some smart-sounding b/s to justify the ridiculous price tag. As if 2048 is somehow worth to pay more for, than (some other value everyone else uses), despite nobody using anything less than 2048 for a long time now.

    I got one some time ago, thanks. :)

    I still spend around $80 to buy wildcard at ssls. How can the price be so different? Does their $4.99 certs support all browsers? What's the renewal price?

    Because a cert is just a couple of kilobytes and a few seconds of crypto computation time on a server. It's basically free to make, and you can make as much as you want at no extra cost.

    Same question.. what about the renewal price? Would that be the same?
    Thanks..

    Nowadays I can get both normal and wildcards for free. And yes, it's trusted (at least mine - not sure if the one you mentioned is the same type) - the site in my signature uses one of them.

    Are you talking about the SH certs or an actual regular cert directly from the vendor or resellers?

  • @TheOnlyDK said:

    Aren't SH certs actual certs? :)

  • @Traffic said:

    I should use the term "regular".
