CertSimple only does EV (and we happily recommend Lets Encrypt, CloudFlare, Heroku and other free sources if you only need a DV cert).

We're 18 months old and the main reason we exist is to make the identity verification EV adds not a pain in the arse.

Here's a list of ways we do EV differently from other providers: https://certsimple.com/about

I've been on HN for nearly as long as pg has so feel free to give me a shout here if you have any questions. It's past midnight in the UK right now so I'll answer them tomorrow morning. If you prefer email: mike@certsimple.



Tried it out for the heck of it. Unfortunately Dun & Bradstreet has old address information for my company and their account creation system is broken (error 'CEPDEV101' when creating an account). So the "3 hour" validation will take a lot longer, through no fault of CertSimple's.


Hi Steven! Check the 'Next steps' email which has specific instructions for your company - we don't rely on Dun & Bradstreet to update.


Was checking out your site, and the form to start verification doesn't appear when in portrait mode on mobile?

Landscape seems to work fine though.


Thanks bakavic. Our UI is currently built for desktop since most of our customers are coming from desktops - there's some data entry and we use things like webcrypto and HTML5 clipboard that may not be available on mobile platforms. We're going to improve the mobile experience in future but have other higher priority items (like better DBA support!) on our roadmap first.
