Thawte is unfortunately not the same company anymore. It doesn't surprise me a bit that Verisign let it degrade.
Thawte _was_ a success story for its time. When Shuttleworth created it he severely undercut prices which is why Verisign had to buy them since he was quickly working up the food chain. After Verisign bought them, they carefully controlled the product offering to keep it the low-price step-child that it is today.
I have used Thawte a few times but the last few years I have been dissatisfied. Do you have any recommendations? I would like to give my business to someone other than Verisign if possible.
