Free SSL Certificates The Good, The Bad and The
Ugly

• SSL Certificates are very important when we talk
  about Internet security. Nowadays, as the use of
  Internet is increasing, we need a safer method by
  which we can share our data securely over the
  Internet. People all around the world are
  connected together online and a tremendous amount
  of data is being shared on a daily bases over the
  Internet, which increases the chances of data
  being hacked or misused. To ensure security, SSL
  certificate plays a major role and gives
  confidence to users to share data over the
  Internet without being worried about data being
  hacked or misused. There are certain points that
  should be kept in mind before going for SSL
  certificate.

Whether you should opt for free SSL certificate
or proper SSL certificate, it is important to
know the difference between the two.

• If you are looking for SSL certificate, either
  you can buy one from CA (Certification Authority)
  or you can get it on a trial basis for free. The
  good part of using a free version of SSL
  certificate is that you can use it while testing
  your website at an initial stage or even if you
  want to test your e-mail system. As soon as your
  website is ready to use, it is advisable to
  install a proper SSL certificate.
• Free version is available for time period less
  than one year or a maximum of one year, whereas
  proper Comodo SSL certificate is available for a
  time span of 1-3 years.
• When using a free SSL certificate for e-mail
  system, the main hassle you have to go through is
  to change it every single month, which is very
  inconvenient. Whereas, if you install proper SSL
  certificate, once the setup is done, you can use
  it as long as you have opted for.
• Free SSL certificate only provides basic
  security, with no extra features on the other
  hand proper SSL certificate provides various
  levels of security, depending upon your
  requirements. In simple words, you cannot get
  green bar with free SSL certificate.

As we have compared both free SSL certificate and
proper SSL certificate, in case you want to
choose Free SSL Certificate for initial stage of
our website, there are two options available

• Comodo Trial SSL
• Rapid SSL trial

Whats good, whats bad?

• Good thing about trial SSL Certificate is that it
  is absolutely free of cost. Along with being
  free, it works exactly like normal SSL
  certificates.
• Of course it provides encrypted link, which is
  essential for internet security, but
  authentication form is very low. It means that
  your site is not 100 secure.
• Free SSL certificate is also not recommended for
  emails as email may contain highly sensitive
  data, which can fall into wrong hands.
• Free SSL certificate has advantage over proper
  SSL Certificate in terms of time taken in issuing
  the certificate. Free SSL Certificate take few
  minutes where as proper SSL Certificate might
  take a day.
• Proper SSL certificate comes with a warranty, but
  it is not the same case with Free SSL
  Certificate. Neither it has a green address bar
  i.e. no trust seal. So, before going for either
  of it, understand your requirements and choose
  accordingly.
