Techie question

[laurierobey]

Okay, Verisign wants $1,000 for a 128-bit SSL certificate. GoDaddy offers a High-Assurance SSL Certificate for less than $100. Is there any reason not to get the certificate from GoDaddy (and I'm seriously asking if anyone knows some reason why they're so cheap or why Verisign is so expensive). Is there something Verisign has/does that GoDaddy doesn't? Is there any reason why Verisign is better?

Thanks! I'm not even sure now that they're going to want a certificate, but I'll present them with options if they want!
