The EV SSL is the most trusted certificate on the market. However, most stores do not use this type of certificate.The reason people don't use those is because new stores cannot afford them. EV SSLs are typically $900 - $1500 dollars. That's quite expensive for an annual certificate. (GoDaddy offers their own proprietary EV certificate at $500) Yes, you are right.

There are umpteen pricing options for BASIC SSL certification --- and sure they might do the job BUT I would not count on reliability with any of these options listed.When I speak of reliability, I am speaking in terms of ROI. And when looking at the “big picture” also take into consideration the ongoing relationship you want to convey to each and every customer and the shopping experience you want to extend them.I would do some more research and look at what some of the mid-larger size companies are using, like EV SSL….those turn your url bar green…Savvy customers and web shoppers are looking for stronger visual cues, and are more likely to follow-thru with the transaction if you display an EV SSL cert. So think in terms of ROI and what message am I sending from my site to keep my customers coming back over and over and maintain a trusted relationship. wow go cheap,go free.sounds like the kmart of ssl
