SSL Cert
Hi,
I have a few different SSL certs installed on various sites.
I've bought all of them from here - https://cheapsslsecurity.com/comodo/positivessl.html - for $5 per year.
I've noticed before that one browser had trouble verifying the cert and it threw an error.
01 - can anyone recommend a good reputable SSL cert
02 - how do you get the green bar that some sites have such as https://stripe.com

I don't understand it either. If you can provide URL to your website we can check what product are you actually using.

The cert looks good.
Here I found it for less than $8 per year - https://comodosslstore.com/positivessl.aspx
Seems that Comodo has many different pages for selling certs with different prices. I won't comment on that, however it's probable that it costed even less some time ago.
As a side note, you might want to install chain certificates on your web server as currently it's using AIA extension, which is not always working and it makes websites to load longer.

Hi, thanks... is there any reason why you would not use this cert - https://comodosslstore.com/positivessl.aspx
Also, can you explain the chain certificate?

Thank you.
i would recommend either of those:
https://www.digicert.com/
http://www.symantec.com/ssl-certificates/
https://www.geotrust.com/
https://www.thawte.com/
https://www.comodo.com/
You will get green bar if you get EV (Extended Validation) type of certificate for your website.
The vendor you provided doesn't seem to be trustworthy. They don't even use their certificate for their own website... You will not get 'good' cert for this kind of money unfortunately.
SSL errors happen from time to time, however often user is the one to blame :) It all depends on what was the exact error.
edit: I just noticed that you probably bought Comodo cert, even then it's better to buy it directly from the company and not from reseller.
