  GoDaddy can go a …. themselves. I don't know if this is a good deal or not, but if it involves GoDaddy I would recommend keeping away.

    I've been using GoDaddy for many years for .com's never have a problem ever. This is simply for the SSL you can install in your Cpanel on any hosting of any domain.

    You don't need to associate this SSL with any GoDaddy products.

      The problem isn't until you go to leave; they will do everything in their power to make you stay.

      Also, if you check to see if a domain is available through their site; they tend to buy it so they can sell it to you at a substantial mark-up.

      Oh, and if you put in an order on their domain back-ordering service, then they buy the domain, advertise it to their customers, and try auction it off to the highest bidder rather than give it to you for the price you've paid.

        My last experience trying to buy a domain from them early last year during one of those $1 type deals: they singled out my purchase for "verification" and requested a scan of my driver's licence or passport. Not being comfortable with this and having read other stories of them making followup demands for further personal documents, I politely declined and offered to change the payment method from my credit card to PayPal, or otherwise cancel the order.

        They cancelled order, locked my account, held onto the domain I'd registered and tainted it with a "suspended for spam and abuse" DNS server entry. The domain was released several weeks later for any random speculator to pick up. Lucky it was a throwaway domain.

    I have all my domains through GoDaddy. They're fine. Easy to use control panel and all the extras - direct control of DNS records, domain hosting, domain parking, email aliases - that some other registrars charge additional for are thrown in. I've only needed support once and it was a Sydney number that was answered immediately. $10 to buy a domain and around $12 to renew which is reasonable.

    Their web hosting is woeful though.

  dazweeja on 15/01/2013 - 11:56

  Good price but be careful to turn off auto-renew or you'll be charged full-price (which at $70 is excessive) when the certificate expires. Get the certificate from another provider then.

  • 

    Elijha on 15/01/2013 - 12:08

    can this be used to renew a certificate on go daddy? or do they magically differentiate between creating and renewing a certificate - like domain name renewals?

  $25.60 a year

  This is $4.99 a year, lol.

    I'm not so sure…

    More likely:

    Year 1 ~ $5
    Year i ~ $70 (per year), for i > 1

    (The giveaway was "Change 3 years to 1 year" above)

    (By contrast, Crazy Domains usually let you pay [albeit for a different product] their -sale- price for each year, up to 10 years, if you're quick!)

    [I think GoDaddy is still suffering from lot of business
    that they suffered after embracing unpopular legislation,
    a while ago.]

      You just use the latest promo code each year. I've never paid more than about $11 for a 1 year renewal.

    cristtos on 15/01/2013 - 17:05

    $4.99 a year, every year for 5 years in advance.
    I normaly charge my clients $70 a year.
    Good investment, potential return $65x5x5 = $1625

    Wow, that's amazing. I didn't know about them.

    IVI on 15/01/2013 - 12:40

    What kind(s) of certificates are there?

    How are they different?

    Trade-off's in using each kind?

    What kind of certificate is the one you'd get from StartSSL.com?

    TIA

    • 

      G5 on 15/01/2013 - 16:04

      There's many different types of certificates, and different reasons for needing each one, but I'll try to break it down to the most common:

      Class 1 - Domain and email validated. This is what GoDaddy charge $69 for (or free at StartSSL). The certificate is issued to a person who has control of the domain. Little/no verification of identity. Only really useful for ensuring encryption between client/server.

      Class 2 - Organisation validation. GoDaddy call these 'Premium SSL' and charge $99 ($59 at StartSSL). The organisation issuing the certificate has verified that the website is controlled by a particular company/organisation. This is more thorough, eg. it can require a signed statement from the director/s on company letterhead, by external verification eg. ASIC records, and by telephone.

      Class 3 - Extended validation. Issued to an organisation, but with even stricter requirements over a Class 2 certificate. These are the 'green address bar' certificates that you will typically see from banks or financial institutions.

    IVI on 15/01/2013 - 12:43

    I'd say: Think REGIONAL, adopt a -cheap- .ASIA domain name & save big!

    (When Crazy Domains has $1 / .ASIA sales, you can get a 10-year .ASIA for $10… What's wrong with that? :-)

    …just sayin'

  Was about to pay $50 for a Standard SSL

  No, tell me that you weren't! Who in the right mind was going to spend that on a non-EV, minimum-verification SSL certificate? :)

  It's a good introductory deal at $4.99, otherwise RapidSSL is usually cheaper and easy enough to set up ($10.95/Year from Namecheap), or Comodo PositiveSSL at $9/Year from Namecheap but it's a bit more tricky with intermediate CA certificates from experience.

  As of StartSSL, I used to use them on some not so important sites (admin pages for example). However again there's more work setting them up and you can only renew one year at a time and then you need to get your domain, email, etc re-authorised.

  You can also lock in the savings for x amount of years i.e. for 2 years, it's $9.98, 3 years it's $14.97 etc…

  you can get a domain validated ssl certificate for free from https://www.startssl.com/?app=39

  paying $4.99 for one seems silly

  also $59.99 for unlimited wildcard domains certs is a great deal

  $0 for an SSL Certificate from http://www.startssl.com and it's trusted by all major browsers.
