SSL certificates, providers, signing requests, and transferability.

Sep 7th, 2007

I will need to buy an SSL certificate soon and I have a few questions.

When I create the signing request and purchase the certificate, am I tied to the server that generated the request? Once I buy the certificate will I be able to easily transfer it to a new host?

I'm thinking of getting the godaddy Deluxe SSL certificate or the Essential SSL certificate from instantssl.com. I would like it very much if people post about their experiences and opinions with these and other SSL providers.
