-====== Creating Validated StartSSL Certificates ======
+====== Creating Validated SSL Certificates ======
 this is just a bunch of steps i can't seem to remember each time i need a new certificate.. so i write it down in here :)
-first of all you need to create a user account at startssl.com and download and install the mime certificate from them that will authenticate you against their service.
+I used to use startssl.com as they are free. but eventually i got annoyed by having to renew my certificates every year and messing around with the client certificate needed to acecss their customer portal, so i changed over to gogetssl.com which sell ridiculously cheap (as in $4 per year) certificats which last 3 years and all you need to access the portal is an email address and password :)
-now you need to run the validations vizard and validate your ownership of the domain you need a certificate for
+with most providers of simple domain verification certificates, you usually need to prove ownership of a domain by receiving an email at webmaster@domain or some other @domain email address THEY propose.
