AceDaz Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Hi We are looking to replace our ipsCA Wildcard Certificate with one from a more client supported CA, I have tried the SSL Store (They want either a card payment / Wire Transfer / Cheque in Dollars) and 123 (They want a Card Payment only). We are unable to pay by card, just by cheque. Can anyone recommend a SSL Reseller which can accept Official School Orders and/or Cheques? Many thanks
FragglePete Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 We get ours through our Internet Provider; SWGfL who in turn get them from Janet. We get charged £35 for three years. Worth talking to your ISP? *EDIT* Sorry, just re-read your post, I don't think Janet allow Wildcards. Pete

themightymrp Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Try these: https://www.thesslstore.co.uk/rapidssl/rapidssl-wildcard.aspx It says they are £77 per year for a 2 year certificate
kmount Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) SSL247 accepted a school PO from one of our customers last year, worth a look maybe. Digicert is also a good, though not sure if they'll take a PO. Edited May 1, 2014 by kmount
themightymrp Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Additional note - we have a wildcard cert provided by ipsCA that runs out next April. Am I correct in that they no longer exist as a company?

themightymrp Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 They only accept payments by Card or a Cheque in Dollars Not under their Enterprise program for Public sector: https://www.thesslstore.co.uk/partner/enterprise-solutions.aspx
AceDaz Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 SSL247 accepted a school PO from one of our customers last year, worth a look maybe. Digicert is also a good, though not sure if they'll take a PO. Rang SSL247 and heres the result: 123-Wildcard from Global Sign over 3 years: £179.97 (Was told by SSL247 this certificate was not Global Sign but their own) The SSL Store Wildcard from Comodo over 3 years: £248.91 SSL247 Wildcard from Global Sign over 3 years: £1,100 SSL247 Wildacard from Geotrust over 4 years (4 years for the price of 3): £785
AceDaz Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 Not under their Enterprise program for Public sector: https://www.thesslstore.co.uk/partner/enterprise-solutions.aspx They accept official school orders, but when it comes to payment its a card payment or cheque in dollars or Wire Transfer
themightymrp Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Hmm wouldn't be a problem for us, we have a school credit card
AceDaz Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 Additional note - we have a wildcard cert provided by ipsCA that runs out next April. Am I correct in that they no longer exist as a company? They dont seem to...browsing to http://www.ipsca.com brings up a Go Daddy parked page, but browsing to Home still brings up a page for them saying that they no longer issue certificates.
ZeroHour Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) We (EduGeek) use AlphaSSL Wildcard Certificate from ProntoSSL as they are a UK company and the price for us is very fair. It may be worth dropping them a mail about invoice billing but at least they are UK. I am just renewing now and you get a 20% discount if you renew early which is nice, they even emailed to ask if I had any problems as I stopped the order at the CSR point as I had lost my previous CSR.

AceDaz Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 Ended up purchasing a RapidSSL certificate from SSL247
FragglePete Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Just so you know the cost of the JANET certs has gone up to around £100. Just enquired today through SWGfL on the pricing of certificates; was informed the price is still £35 per certificate for 3 years. Pete
AceDaz Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Just enquired today through SWGfL on the pricing of certificates; was informed the price is still £35 per certificate for 3 years. Pete That's a good price, but ours didn't do certs from Janet and also Janet won't issue one on a .co.uk domain
Jona Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 We get ours from NameCheap - https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/domain-validation.aspx Who do a wildcard for about £50, it is however a card payment in dollars, so does require you to have a school credit card. Jona
fiza Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Just enquired today through SWGfL on the pricing of certificates; was informed the price is still £35 per certificate for 3 years. Pete We must get charged extra by LGFL then. I don't think we can get the certs any other way.
jcookhgs Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 We (EduGeek) use AlphaSSL Wildcard Certificate from ProntoSSL as they are a UK company and the price for us is very fair. It may be worth dropping them a mail about invoice billing but at least they are UK. I am just renewing now and you get a 20% discount if you renew early which is nice, they even emailed to ask if I had any problems as I stopped the order at the CSR point as I had lost my previous CSR. Just had a renewal email reminder from ProntoSSl for ours but they do not resell AlphaSSL ones anymore due to "various issues". First time experience of this for me, hopefully straight forward!
Arthur Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 We (EduGeek) use AlphaSSL Wildcard Certificate from ProntoSSL Someone at ProntoSSL has forgotten to renew the certificate for their website. http://i.imgur.com/4n3dxus.png 1
Oaktech Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 We got our from GoDaddy 2 years ago, they took a school PO then.
ass17 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 We bought direct from RapidSSL for $498 on 3 years for a wildcard cert. at the time of exchange rate it worked out at £105 a year
themightymrp Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I bought one in February of this year from http://www.thesslstore.co.uk, chose the RapidSSL wildcard for 2 years. It cost £133...... total
thebatman Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 We use SSL247 for a wildcard SSL and we pay by School PO.
