Hi,

We're about to setup a payment area on our web site and wanted to a
certificate, but prefer a European entity.

Any suggestions?

Need:

2. Probable process time (Optional).
3. Requirements to issue it.

Thank you.

Hi Dustydune!


The SSL Certificate and Certification Authority Comparison Website
provides a list of SSL providers. They are listed according to price.

Comparison Table

Here is an excellent comparison table that will give you an overview
of the major providers with the following information: Name, Price
(US$), Issuance Speed, Country and more.
http://www.sslreview.com/content/table/index.html


There are other SSL Provider brands that are not featured  on the
above chart. These brands probably belong to resellers. Resellers are
organizations that will resell the SSL Provider's certificates, often
at different prices to the SSL Provider themselves.

?Be aware that some resellers will "re-brand" the SSL Provider's
certificate, thereby masking who actually issues the certificate, and
then offer their own re-branded certificates at inflated prices above
the SRP of the SSL Provider themselves.Some Resellers sell "rebranded"
SSL certificates, sometimes at inflated prices.?
