• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

StartSSL feedback thread

auth procedure is hard, they require many documents, but certs works without any problems. I'm talking about "proper" certificates which you get after auth procedure (around 50$ + docs for identification), after it you can generate as much certs as you can (including wildcard ones) for free, and they will be "green" in almost all browsers/devices. There is some devices which doesn't have startssl root ca like PS3, but who the hell browse webs on gaming console?
Overall: best SSL provider i saw so far. If you/your company have many domains which needs to be SSLed, this is best choice - even for EV - it will save you some money.
 
I have used the free certs for 3 personal mail servers myself. The "wizards" aren't for first timers, but they work fine. Even microsoft outlook acknowledges the certs as valid and current. Not bad for FREE!
 
Used them and hated the process to get signed up. It was about the most in-efficient way ever to do it and they asked for wayyy too much info IMO.

These days I just go to namecheap and buy the positivessl certs. They are ~$8/year and very easy to generate (plus unlimited reissues). They also work great in browsers AND java. StartSSL did not work with Java for me (they are not in the default trusted roots).
 
I've used the free certs for years for clients (for owa/activesync). Works great for me.
 
I really like them. They are just as picky as most third party CA's. Works well, quick, free and no problems with client side on any device I've tested. I don't think they do SAN certs, but its free and I think they are insured for a small amount (don't quote me on that).

The certificate related access to the portal is a pain in the ass... Again I don't have any problems with it, its free for everything I've used.
