No 3 month bullshit!

Edit

The client really painful to install, no documentation, nothing about the client.

    Sorry i never loved startssl

    They're losing certificate reissuing fees... they had to compete :P

  • i downloaded their "StartEncrypt Lite" which is suppose to be automatic. Hard to tell, since there is no instructions/readme with the contents. Also, I don't see how "automatic" it is when it just extracts: bin conf log sh var

    Anyone get the "automation" to work?

  • FritzFritz Veteran

    I've used them before and I prefer LE. :p

  • Only if the Pro is free, but it's never happening. HailLE

  • Page seems a little misleading. Seems like EV still needs money. Bleh.

    Meanwhile, I'm loving Let's Encrypt.

  • rokokrokok Member

    All eyes lookin at free EV SSL cert lol

    Don't reg with real data, it's a trap.

    Try googling "startssl privacy"

  • @rokok said:

    Don't reg with real data, it's a trap.

    Try googling "startssl privacy"

    It's also technically not free, they state they are charging you for the validation still.

    If you would like to support up to 100 hostnames and wildcard, please finish the "Personal Identity Validation " for personal use that only cost US$59.90 for unlimited multi-domain and wildcard SSL certificate for 2 years period for FREE. Or go to "Organization Extended Validation" for organization use that only cost US$199.90 for unlimited multi-domain and wildcard OV SSL certificate for 3 years period and one EV SSL certificate for 2 years period for FREE .

    Gotta love the part "that only cost US$199.90" :p

  • tommytommy Member

    that cheap for 2 years EV SSL :D and unlimited wildcard OV SSL for 3 years.

    Nothing cheaper than that

  • Free is cheaper.

    Looks like their app is proprietary with no source code available? Wow, they found a way to take the Lets Encrypt concept and make it worse.

    Explains stuff. If you want to not have pain, but bleed silently, use StartEncrypt!

  • FritzFritz Veteran

    I think they should go with GoEncrypt instead of StartEncrypt.

  • eva2000eva2000 Veteran

    startencrypt doesn't seem to be fully automatic as the domain validation still needs to be done first in their web area AFAIK from their FAQ/HELP info

    Purchased Hosted by Qihoo, a Chinese company that proved to keep helping the government monitoring their netizens, while actively contributing to the censorship in China.

    It is so clear that those English on the webpage is written by some ESL users: considering the relationship between StartCOM, WoSign and Qihoo, I think we can boldly assume that Startcom is being run by the same people in WoSign or Qihoo. And that's not making the internet any safer by any mean, to say the least.

    EDIT: not purchased

  • tommytommy Member

    @cnbeining any source they purchased?

  • tommytommy Member

    Open sourced, maybe yes maybe no

    Got reply from StartEncrypt

    And thanks for you advice, We will confider open source at the right time.

    Ah sorry, just PKI being hosted on Qihoo.

    Still fishy ENOUGH.
