I am reading several notes on SSL certificates and comparison. What matters to me the most is speed. I can read that encryption is same with all different certificates available but I was wondering if there is any difference in the performance of the website with different certificates involved.

I am ofcourse interested in end to end response times and I wonder if the type of encryption or number of certificates required as Chain Certificates makes a difference in speed.

I dont really care for cost but looking for a good SSL certificate which ideally gives me absolutely no pain and best performance. Recommendations?

How many domains do you need? Is this for MS Exchange? Do you need to make use of Subject Alternative Names? – SLY Feb 26 '11 at 21:30

Verisign is very popular.

Regarding the speed, I believe they are pretty much the same, or would you choose a provider just because its 30 ms faster?

You have GoDaddy, Comodo, rapidSSL, etc.

Personally, I think that unless you are a giant corporation, Verisign has the worst service and the highest prices. We use Digicert for production (and highly recommend them) and GoDaddy for the lab. – icky3000 Feb 26 '11 at 22:56
