I just wanted to remind everyone that there's always two sides to a story.

I've worked with Comodo previously, including doing PR for Comodo. I've always had good experiences with Comodo, and I know that they have a lot of small and medium-sized businesses who are very happy Comodo customers. So don't rule them out 100% based on Charles' experience.

You can check them out at http://www.comodo.com/

Best,

Jeff
