Driver Signing Certificate only SHA256 for Windows 8 (no SHA1 for Vista or Win7)
September 27, 2012 Permalink
Overall Rating:
Product: Code Signing Certificate

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. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh967734%28v=vs.85%29.aspx 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.]

WARNING! i usually i like godaddy phone support and most services. but they blew it on the ssl certificate thing. it was not easy to set up, it interfered with some script on my site and there were no setting to alleviate this. when i called them to get info about revoking the ssl they just said to "go ahead its easy, just press a button." so i did and NOW MY SITE IS DEAD FOR UP TO 3 DAYS WHILE IT RESOLVES. they cant do anything about it and wont escalate the issue for me so i have no site for 3 days now. (i hope it comes back! but i dont trust it now.) they could have warned me about this and should have but no-one did.

Very easy to purchase. Very competitive pricing, clear and easy to use website, and good support make GoDaddy a no-brainer if you need widely accepted SSL certificates without paying the higher cost elsewhere.

We use the GoDaddy Standard SLL certificate for our client area and we are very happy. We didn't need support as everything worked ok. If you use a coupon code you can get it for only $12.99 for the first year. Great deal ! Thanks.

I found their Standard SSL via a google search for $7.99 per year. I put a 5 year cert in the cart but the cart price was $292. What??? I called them, the guy told me "you can't get an SSL for that price". I told him what I found and he put me on hold and then when he came back on the website and the google searches all read $12.99 per year. He told me that I could not have seen that before. He called me a liar. I hate doing business with them. They *used* to be great but now they are just kinda dirty to deal with.

Easy SSl Process for a first timer

Product: Standard SSL

The process was very easy. I was concerned about my ability to install the SSL (The site is hosted at a 3rd party). I called Godaddy.com and they walked me through the process. I felt the site was very easy to work with (there were other complaints here about difficulty). The technical agent said it might be a slight delay for the certificate to process, but before we hung up, the SSL was ready to download. Very Easy Process, and Great Customer Service.

Product: Standard SSL Wildcard

Technically the SSL has worked ok. The installing was easy. I googled the instructions and followed it thru with no problems. I don't remember weather the instructions were hosted and written by 3rd party, but they were easy to follow. The thing that annoys me, is that go-daddy really started spamming me in e-mail. I cannot put them into spam filter, in case there is imporant mail regarding the certificate. I already gave them $100, so why spam me?? There is nothing more they can offer me.

Redundant application process with inept support staff
April 9, 2012 Permalink
Overall Rating:
Product: Premium (EV) Certificate

Last week, our consultant purchased an EV SSL certificate with free instant standard certificate for our client account. All documentation was submitted and the EV SSL was approved and issued. Last night, when I personally submitted a certificate request for a sub-domain to be used for testing purposes, Godaddy rejected my request and asked that I submit additional documentation for the standard certificate because the word "apple" appeared in this domain name. Our business is a registered LLC in California and has already verified our trade name with Godaddy during the EV SSL registration process; however, Godaddy support staff was unwilling and/or unable to issue a standard SSL for a sub-domain. Needless to say, this redundancy has not only caused a delay in web development but has also lead to significant increase in project costs. These policies have upset two loyal businesses and will cost Godaddy a considerable amount of future business.

I felt like the service was worth every penny that I paid. It was the first time I'd installed a certificate. The rep stayed with me on the phone until I had it installed. They didn't simply refer me to a page.

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!

In my case , for debian(6) i couldn't get any help or orientation. For validation of the certificate all the automated process failed , and i followed all the instructions received by email support. Cheap sometimes is expensive...!

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.

You get what you pay for (and less)

Product: Standard SSL

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.

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.
