I am surprised by the negative tone of some of the reviews of Go Daddy's SSL product and service. The certificate itself works flawlessly. The Web site to order the certificate made it easy -- although there is a lot of advertisement that is sometimes confusing (gotta read through more than necessary). Processing the payment was painless -- and the cost was significantly less than the competition. Parameterizing the certificate was rapid, thanks to good on-line instructions. And I obtained the certificate in minutes rather than days elsewhere. Moreover, someone called me 2 days after the purchase to make sure that everything was in place and to see if I needed any help. Highest recommendations to these SSL certificates and to Go Daddy's service!

Product Purchased: Standard UC Certificate
Support: They are okay. Help with any problems but it can take a while.
Interface: It is difficult to use and doesn't meet my needs.
Issuance Speed: After a day

Good luck navigating your way aroudn the bloatware, advertsiment and other crap on the site.

The site is 100% geared towards making a sale, 0% geared towards accessing/managing existing products. I moved all out web hosting away from them because of this issue (and also performacewas terrible) but still use them for SSL certificates.

I am actively looking for a better company because I'm tired of wasting 30minutes+ for simple tasks due to their terrible design, and of waiting for things to happen after I have made requests, hoping that it will go through.

A year ago I bought an SSL certificate from GoDaddy. At the time of buying I paid $14 which I believe is a good price. After clicking past lots and lots of bloat and various advertisement for their other products, I managed to get my certificate. This procedure took about 30 minutes, which is OK considering the price.

Now, a year later, I've decided to go with another certificate authority. I logged on to their system and tried to remove the credit card information I've entered. No luck, since I still have active products attached to my account. As I do not want to cancel my current certificate before it expires, I cannot remove my credit card either. I had to call my bank and have them block credit card. VERY BAD, Godaddy. You lost a customer big time.

I do not recommend GoDaddy. If you need a SSL certificate, there are other companies that may cost a dollar more but have WAY better service.

Absolutely no problems at all with GoDaddy EV SSL. Superior product that is up there with the very best. People need to get over the myth in thinking that its all in the name. The product is superb.

Purchased my first trusted cert from GoDaddy. Was finished and installed in less than an hour for a fraction of other providers fee. Cert works like it should- users automatically trust the cert.

I have my sites hosted at hostgator but Godaddy sell its standard ssl certificates as low as $12 if you found the rigth coupon or promo.
No problem at all, got my cert in a cpuple of hours from the very begining and work fine in my site.

EV SSL -- Paid GoDaddy for nothing.

We ordered an EV SSL from GoDaddy back in January. Now in mid March, we are still waiting for them to act on it. Nicole E. of customer service (handling the account) generally does not respond to my inquiries for days or weeks at a time. She has been telling me for over a month that she needs to get around to calling my lawyer to "authenticate" a legal opinion letter. Meanwhile, my lawyer has made several attempts to reach out to them on my behalf. Nothing. Very frustrating.

Godaddy SSL Was the best since we used Verisign and they were so excpencive!! and we moved to geotrust which was bummer!

With godaddy there support did a nice help even our servers arent with godaddy and located with peer1.

The documentation for the instalation was easy and everything went smooth for 3 years wildcard just 530 USD !!

Overall they were the best.
