I only gave a 3 because the same day I bought the SSL I got a flat tire. OK, but this isn't any dumber than faulting the cert because your scripts were not compatible with Apache Crypt and then being even more mad that DNS takes time to populate as GoDaddy has equal control over all 3 factors. I am still bitter that after buying a resale account my password would not work and I had to call in every time to get it functional and was treated like an idiot who couldn't remember his password by nearly everyone I talked to. It took 5 months to get a guy to listen to me and once he did... within 24 hours their tech support had a solution of using a rclogin.com to log in instead of the normal url... worked instantly and 0 probs in the 7 months since. But it should not have taken 5 months to get there.

Go to their site, find SSL Cert. you want, order it, wait a few minutes for emails, go back on their site, confirm and download. That's it.

Our WhoIS got screwed up by registrars and at the same time SSL cert was expired. So NS...was no help because their validation goes by WhoIS...
Needed Cert ASAP ...went with GoDaddy.. literally within 50 minutes I got cert approved and installed on load balancer..

SSL Cert was much cheaper by 60%

it is a little difficult to install the ssl. i installed twice. the first ssl cert was easy enough, but then i forgot how to do it the second time. I called godaddy and they told me to use the online chat, and they helped me out very well. I had most everything set, except for one or two things and they knocked it out fast. Then they checked the ssl for me and made sure everything was set up properly. Good service and good customer service. They are a good company.

Driver Signing Certificate only SHA256 for Windows 8 (no SHA1 for Vista or Win7)
Thu September 27, 2012
Overall Rating:
Product Purchased: Code Signing Certificate
Support: They are inadequate. Very unresponsive.
Interface: A little confusing but easy enough after I figured it out.
Issuance Speed: After a day

As of this date, GoDaddy cannot issue SHA1 cross certificates for driver signing. GoDaddy will only issue SHA256 certificates. Windows Vista and Windows 7 require SHA1.

Signing a driver package with two signatures

In some cases, you might want to sign a driver package with two different signatures. For example, suppose you want your driver to run on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows 8 supports signatures created with the SHA256 hashing algorithm, but Windows 7 does not. For Windows 7, you need a signature created with the SHA1 hashing algorithm.


[Regarding their domain name registry service, I have domains that I either own or manage from GoDaddy. I also manage a few website SSL certificates from GoDaddy. They are fine for those two services once you figure out how to navigate their web management interface. 4/5 stars for those two services.]
