[FX.php List] [off] SSL Certs

[John May]

We pretty exclusively use GeoTrust.  They issue certificates on the 
spot, and you can get really good pricing as a reseller (no miniumum units).

Verisign/Thawte are overpriced.  We've tried GoDaddy some too, but we've 
had issues with their certs on non-Apache servers pretty often.
