Can anyone recommend a good SSL Cert. provider?

christopheryue2429 · 2017-01-16T11:24:44.000Z

I am currently using GoDaddy for my SSL certificates.

Now and again I run into problems with the intermediate and root certificates not binding properly when importing in.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a SSL provider where the certificates generated are easy to import into Window IIS.

I also use Citrix Netscaler which always proves a nightmare when it comes to importing the Cert.

Any advice would be welcome.

Hello,

namecheap

I’ve been using their ssl services for 3 years now, they are good.

I use SSLs.com and the Comodo certs, but then I’m also Linux/openssl coverstant to create the pfx files with the full CA tree by hand.

I’ve used both Comodo and NameCheap and have never had an issue with either.

I use comodo and their certs work fine and are normally reasonable. I have issues understanding tech support if I have to call them, but the only time I might need to call is when I renew.

I’m using “Let’s Encrypt” anywhere I can get away with it.

If you’re not familiar with the project, check it out. There was a good talk at HOPE this year that covered it, but I’m sure you can get most of the details from the website.

I think all of the providers use intermediate authorities now, so you just have to deal with intermediate CA:s.

i’m using GoDaddy…
their adverts are somewhat cheesy…but no issues with the service.

hoggleton · 2017-01-16T13:52:21.000Z

We use Digicert because we’re able to buy one Wildcard, and then issue duplicates with differing Private Keys. We have in the past used Go Daddy, but not had the problems you’ve specified. They are expensive in Comparison, costs double that of Go Daddy for Wildcards, but it works out cheaper long term if you have a lot of sites to protect. Actually the only time I’ve had issues is with a TMG server and the Go Daddy Intermediates. A reboot fixed the problem… Good ol’ Microsoft.

danobrien3 · 2017-01-16T13:59:49.000Z

We’ve used GoDaddy for years and the one time I had an issue I was able to speak to some one competent who was actually helpful.

servermonkey8064 · 2017-01-16T14:05:17.000Z

To be clear, needing to import an intermediary is an issue with many CA’s these days.

Moving from GoDaddy to someone else won’t necessarily make the process any simpler than it already is.

markcoleman3 · 2017-01-16T14:12:20.000Z

1 for Namecheap- been using them for years!

Heard a lot of good things about Let’s Encrypt as well, but in my opinion you need to be able to handle the additional administrative overhead of 90-day certs and/or be able to script cert replacements. I’ve been looking to move as much as possible in our environment over to using, but I have at least one main application where it would cause some issues (it’s a patient EMR system that is up 24/7/365 and changing/renewing the cert involves having to change the thumbprint in the application’s configuration settings and then restarting all of the EMR server services).

I’ve never had any issues with comodo, and they are cheap WIN WIN

peterthompson8 · 2017-01-16T14:31:36.000Z

Godaddy or RapidSSL

justinhamrick5630 · 2017-01-16T14:34:24.000Z

I use GoDaddy with now problems. Have used others, but tend to prefer GoDaddy.
