Re: Certificate Authority guidance requested

Hi,

What would you use this certificate for? For SSL or ...?

I usually use Thawte or Verisign. Thawte is owned by Verisign but cheaper.

I need to purchase and install a security certificate from one of the
Certificate Authorities. Does anyone have recommendations re specific CAs
that are good to work with (or not)? What do you believe are the most
important criteria for evaluating a CA? Thanks in advance for any
assistance.
