2 yr free SSL any good?
hello, I saw a free 2 yr SSL here, and wondering if anyone knows of these guys, or has any experience using them.

Edit 1: I was wondering if the chinese cert would be an issue, or would not be a factor, since these people fro whom I am I setting up sites/ and have to buy hosting SSL etc, often do work for people who do business with counties
Which ones are most compatible and best bang for the buck as in free

- 3rd party, please suggest8.33%

It is not available anymore. You can only get unlimited one year one domain certificates from WoSign now.
Their CA is cross signed by StartSSL. So in the end you have a StartSSL certificate. It's totally fine.
Ok thanks, you like them then. My work involves some counties in the US, just hosting an information site. But, I was wondering if the chinese cert would be an issue, or would not be a factor
Wouldn't be a problem at all, would work exactly the same.
They are not a issue at all. Just setup OCSP stapling with your web server to avoid that your visitors access their Chinese OCSP server and everythinv is fine.
WTF is up with your name.
WoSign is good, but unfortunately they have worsened their offer by a lot, from 3 years and 100 domains "at its peak", down to 1 year and 1 domain now. Still better than StartSSL though, because their free tier features match, but WoSign is much easier to work with (don't even need to sign up, vs fucked in the head certificate-based authentication of StartSSL).
just noticed the OP's usertag
Maybe he's one of your FAN.
