Wow, that's half the price of the same certificates they sell on their main namecheap.com domain. But they are both Namecheap sites? Why would they sell for less on a different label? Really makes me lose confidence in them even after having been a mostly satisfied customer on their main domain for years. Turns out they have been ripping me off!


Careful. I just checked and the cheap certificates are for 3 years.


I literally bought a 3y Comodo PositiveSSL certificate yesterday at namecheap.com for $27. It's the exact same CA! I feel cheated :-/. It's not even about the money, but the feeling of dishonesty. From a vendor selling "trust".


Apparently this also happens for things like mattresses, airline tickets, and food (which doesn't make it less frustrating when you notice it).
