What's you're hurry? It's not the absolute last minute *yet*... :-)

No kidding! $399 for single host certificate! And I'm unable to find
wildcard pricing on the siet at all, so I suppose its one of those
if-you-have-to-ask-you-cant-afford-it things :-)

My input:
> Thawte ( http://www.Thawte.com )
Owned by Verisign, also wants too much money ($149 single, $799 Wildcard)
> GeoTrust ( http://www.GeoTrust.com )
No owned by Verisign but also wants too much money ($249 single, $995
Wildcard)
Be sure to check out these:
Comodo's InstantSSL ($79 single, $449 Wildcard)
http://www.instantssl.com/ssl-certificate-products/ssl/ssl-security.html
GoDaddy ($24.99 Single, $199 Wildcard)
https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/
Everybody uses the exact same underlying technology -- why pay extra?
