  • What are the main differences between Digicert and Comodo?
  1. When the division is first created only one administrator is going to be assign to it. This administrator will be able then to register other administrators and users. There are no permissions needed when adding new people.

  2. Applying for a domain for which you want to have certificates happens in the web interface.

  3. When applying for a domain, DigiCert sends an email to the 7 email addresses (admin, administrator, hostmaster, postmaster, webmaster, whois admin contact and whois-tech contact). 
    This is done in principle once per domain for three years; not for any requested certificate again.

  4. Domain Validated Server certificates are not available with Digicert. Only Organisation Validated or Extended Validated.

  5. Wildcard certificates do not have a free choice Subject Alternative NAmes and Unified Communications (SubjAltName) certificates may also contain wildcards reversed. This is a limitation with respect to the unpleasant Comodo situation;especially large proxy configurations and multi-domain Web sites suffer from it.
