Hello
I'm running a site online and I receive almost daily inquires about members that they're not feeling confident to register because I do not have installed a SSL certificate..


My question where I can order one ? I want one instant, not with address /company verification

Any clue?
Thanks
 
I typically use G0Daddy, but there are a few things you should know:

When you apply for the cert, you will have to prove that you own the domain. You will have to provide organization information as well, but there really isn't any verification of that.

Make sure that your hosting is good to go for having the cert.

I like G0Daddy because they are fairly cheap, but it is still easy to rekey your cert if something goes wrong.
 
I am using ssl from Namecheap and it works fine with me you can also go for godaddy too. I think both of them are fine.
 
I don't know anything about either of those, but, in general, free SSL services tend to have some problems. Most are either not recognized by the browser, which generates a warning message to the user, or are valid for a really short period of time.

I have used free certs for sites that are not open to the public, but for a site that is for public use, I would stick with a provider who is recognized by all the main browsers.
 
Buy a info domain at Namecheap for less than $3 and then you get a free SSL (make sure you click the free SSL link in the checkout!)
 
I've used these without any problems and for $10-13.00 per year you'll look (and be) more legitimate than using a Free certificate.

Note 1: You will also need a dedicated IP address to use the SSL certificate. Your host will probably charge a few extra dollars per month for the dedicated.

Note 2: You will have to be able to receive email from the domain that you want the certificate for because they will send a verification email.
