Cheapest SSL...

[Jonathan]

Hey guys-- I remember once seeing on the old forums,
a link to an SSL place that had them for $19

I'm looking for one but I really do not
want to go out and pay $50 for a test one...

Basicly just need a good ol' cheapy to
securely let ppl login to a members zone etc.

Anybody know of anything?

Some cert cheapies - or make your own...

http://www.ev1servers.net/english/index.asp

have them for $19 or $49.

Or this outfit below also do cheapo certs, including what they call a 'intranet cert':

Of course, for the kind of usage you outlined, you could generate your own using OpenSSL:

or if you have access to a Windows 2000/2003 Server, it is also doable to be your own CA.

I have my personal XP Home Edition comp running
Apache 1.3.x, mySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin.

Does the guide you post work on that O/S Setup?
Its basicly used for dev reasons when I cannot
get my greedy hands on the blazing cable family comp

Does the guide you post work on that O/S Setup?

Perhaps. But it is not as likely that the required OpenSSL files may be available. They are quite commonly thrown into Linux distros.

Have a look at http://www.openssl.org/ to see what might be available to run on Windows.

Or time to do some Googling...

i am not sure if the 19.99 ev1servers chained ssl will work on dathorns servers. plus it only works with Internet Explorer 5.01 + and Netscape 7.

you will have to ask andrew.

We do not support anything other than plain old SSL certificates for a single domain.

*tosses the $19 idea*
Well, back to googling for cheap
SSL / generating my own

SSL-Certificates StarterSSL plan is selling for $38 a year. I'm not sure if Dathorn supports it, but it might be something to check into and see.

[Jonathan]

eh; if I'm paying that much, might as
well just get over it and pay $50 @ E1v or w/e

*sigh*, guess should have held off on IP cuz
I just had to dish out some cash I owed a friend
and I need to keep some saved for Dathorn incase
I can't get the $$ required for the next month's payment

Here's a small comparison chart on SSL providers I found:

http://www.sslreview.com/ssl-certificate-content/ssl-compare-table/index.html

Looks like ipsca.com ($68 for 2yrs) and freessl.com ($39 for 1yr) are the cheapest.

I'll start a new thread for my own SSL questions.
