Namecheap RapidSSL Cert $13? Any downside?

[apemusic]

Hi Zenners,

So far I have used PayPal website payments so have no needed an SSL cert, but I am considering one anyway.

The SSL Certificate I have found that is the best value is the RapidSSL $13 at namecheap
I am a bit concerned if this is viewed from my domain will there be an error message?

From what I gather the only difference with this $13 cert and the $100 cert is that the $100 one will allow the customer to click the Geotrust logo and see my address details, but security wise should be the same?

I am a bit confused about the $13 SSL and I dont know whether it is on a shared server or not or are there any downsides to it?

If anyone knows a better value SSL (my main concern is NO security messages when browsing, prefer a recognised logo), I would prefer one that also has my business name and details confirmed for a tiny bit extra, not for $100 though

regards,
Dave

Rapid SSL deals a lot through resellers, but like anything else you have to be careful. I have a RapidSSL cert, but I prefer to buy direct from the company, which does cost a little more. The tradeoff is that I know exactly what I am getting (you're pretty much blind when dealing with a reseller), and I get to go right to the source if there is any problem.

Paying extra for the SSL logos, installation insurance, etc, is mostly a waste of money. The only reason to get a pricier SSL cert is to cover a whole domain (i.e. applies to any and all sub-domains). RapidSSL has a logo that anyone with their cert is allowed to use.
