Opinions on SSL providers (from Verisign to Geotrust!)

Hi There,

OK, used to be all my clients used Verisign SSL because it was the only game in town. Now you can get SSL for $50/yr or similar. What's the consensus opinion?

Is it still worth using Verisign for the credibility of the name (I mean even Thawte who's probably number 2 is hardly a household name amongst non-geeks)? Most of my clients can afford Verisign (think mid sized manufacturers and retailers with 2-3 decent shops), but some find it pricy and I'm also worried about my liability if I have to move them to a different server and eat the $400 to get them a cert on the new box.

So, opinions please. And if you're going for a discount SSL, where do you get it and how much for 40 and 128 bit respectively are we talking about?

Best Wishes,
Peter
