Recommended SSL Certificate Provider [Solved]

We had a bit of a comeuppance with Comodo recently at work where they "accidentally" issued a three-year SHA-1 SSL certificate so they want to charge us for a replacement. As such, we want to change providers but we could use some recommendations.
It'll need to be for two different domains and I believe that it doesn't need to cover subdomains, though this would be a plus the main site is E-commerce but the subdomains are documentation sites, etc. If it make a difference, payments are not handled directly through the store; we use SagePay and PayPal.

Let's Encrypt should be launching soon.

As per I understand, You require an SSL for two different domain names, but you don’t need to secure its sub domains. In this case you need to go with Comodo Multi Domain SSL, it will support 4 additional SAN domains that price can be around $45 - https://www.ssl2buy.com/comodo-multi-domain-ssl.php

If your requirement is secure two different domains and its all sub domains, You should look into Comodo Multi Domain + Wildcard SSL product - https://www.ssl2buy.com/comodo-multi-domain-wildcard-ssl.php

I found above vendor from - http://www.cheapsslcouponcode.com/coupons/multi-domain-san-ssl and compare prices with other certificates and its vendors.

Id suggest https://www.gandi.net/ssl as there a decent company. And id get just a one year certificate while Lets Encrypt comes out as @Cuboid suggests.

Thanks, but Comodo isn't a very good alternative to Comodo.

I'll keep it in mind but we'd need one sooner, rather than later.

Thanks. I'll give them a look.

Yeah it should be here Mid 2015 and we're in May already.

I buy all of my SSL Certs from Namecheap. They have every cert you could think of.

Looks like I'm not the only one desperately waiting for it.
SSL Certificates are a fucking scam. It's not like they make the website any 'safer'.

For single domain certs I can recommend http://www.startssl.com, but it sounds like you're doing this for work thus money should not be an issue.

Nice - I like that one. I'm leaning towards GeoTrust as Apple appear to use them and the manager is a massive Apple fan.

The manager went for GeoTrust over the weekend. Thanks for the recommendations.

I have checked all the providers’ links from the comments but somewhere I am just wondering about who is trustworthy. They are resellers/vendor but is it ok to purchase from them or else go to the official sites like Comodo or Sectigo? I found this Certera. com comodo SSL which costs $7.49 per year and on another side I found cheapsslweb. com comodo positive SSL which costs $5.49 per year.

At last, I chose to go with second because cheap is my priority!
