The system information is not the system information for my server.

Ok guys, im setting up SSL on my web server.

My question is i need opinions of SSL.

Should I use a SSL service such as Verisign?

Or use something free like OpenSSL??

Pros and cons of both?
I see that OpenSSL is free, but using a SSL service such as Verisign seems much easier.

How secure is OpenSSL vs. a SSL service?
Any hackers out there with any vulnerabilities that I need to be aware of?

Im really leaning towards Verisign for one domain at lets say 240 dollars or so.

But as our network expands 240 dollars for one domain when we might have up to 20 domains doesnt seem cost effective.

Thanks guys. Discuss
