CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

A non-profit I am working with is upgrading their CC processing to use civicrm-1.8.11536-drupal-php4 ( CiviEvent and CiviDonate with Drupal. CiviMail will come after I upgrade the server to php5) instead of a remotely hosted page. I've already installed and tested the software with a certificate from another domain. This is fine for my testing but not for a live site. This means that we now need our own SSL certificate.

I am looking for a vendor that can provide a certificate that will be automatically accepted by the majority of reasonably current browsers, but also won't charge me an arm & a leg. I know that at least GoDaddy does give a discount for open-source projects, so I am curious if any of the vendors have a discount for verifiable non-profits ( 501c3 in the USA ).

Our CC processor recommends COMODO and I am thinking of using their InstantSSL version. Not the cheapest, but they do have some name recognition to help give the warm and fuzzies to the client. Any feedback positive or negative?

BTW, while the majority of our supporters are located in the USA we have a growing number in Europe/Eastern Europe and Asia. Mentioned just in case their are any comments specific to international use.

Thanks for any info. And of course thanks for CiviCRM :-) It's going to m make make my life much simpler.

Thanks for the feedback.
Their $29.95 option doesn't look to bad

I endied up getting the basic one from GoDaddy. And it was $19.95 not 29.95

Its not in place yet only because i am awaiting the confirmation from the domain owner. The cert won't be issued till they confirm its OK.
