Hello this is my first post. I am hoping to get some decent response to this and I am aware that there may be other similar questions, so links to other web sites and private messages are welcome! This is sort of a two part question.

First, I have been tasked with renewing our existing SSL Certificate for our web mail site. I have many questions regarding this. One is whether it is worthwhile to have this EV SSL Certificate, which is significantly more expensive than regular SSL Certs are.

Our current 3rd party CA is RapidSSL. I have heard good things about them but am supposed to look at other companies before making a decision. Any recommendations on either a different company or whether to pursue EV for even more confidence in our site would be the first thing I am looking for.

The second part is really how do I find the Certificate on my web server? What might it look like or be called? How do I generate the info on renewing it or will I get decent instructions on how to do this? I don't want to screw this up as I've heard if I make a mistake it is likely that I'll have to go back and spend all the money again! That would not be good.

I appreciate your help and look forward to checking in and helping where I can. This seems like a good forum.

I was surfing for buying SSL certificate for my site and I came across your thread I cant answer your all questions but your first question about is it worth going for EV certificate I would say yes I agree with you in price difference but I have a solution for that also when I was surfing I came across a site https://www.thesslstore.com they are providing Geotrust's True Business ID with EV certificate for just 174$ the lowest I suppose over internet I have surfed many sites for EV SSL and what I got is 249$, 399$ you can see the huge difference I thought you might be interested in knowing.

Also what's the difference between certs offered on ahosting.biz site:
Turbo SSL® Certificate
High-Assurance Certificate
Extended Validation Certificate???

As others have said, check out namecheap - they are quite good. There is a not a huge amount of difference (in terms of security) between most companies SSL certs, the main thing is more about how recognized they are.

Godaddy's SSL's

Ahosting's SSL's
https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp?prog_id=256664&ci=1789&

You’ll notice that it's the same cert’s yet Godaddy charges $17.99 for their basic compared to Ahosting that charges $55.90.

Ahosting is using Godaddy's reseller api, all they do is sit back and take the profit. Godaddy receives the orders and processes them, provides support and everything else, and then ahosting will receive a check for all the sales that went through the site (obviously Godaddy takes out their share). So they don't by in bulk.

With regards to the difference; the big difference is the level of assurance to the site viewer, with the later cert the company buying the cert has to go through a much more vigorous process in order to be validated in comparison to the first cert where they only do a domain check.

Naecheap.com offers RapidSSL is $14.88 when purchased for one year and just $12.88 when purchased for three years. Other certificates have lower price when purchased for more than one year.
What does RapidSSL mean?
