> question: when VRSN sells a digital certificate are they selling one for the website or to each of the customers of the website. There are various forms of digital certificates: Personal cert - These are mainly used in personal emails to identify the sender. Don't think they make much money out of this. Secured server cert - These they sell ONE for each web host that provide secured internet access. Anytime you use HTTPS to access a secured web host, the web host uses its digital cert to identy itself. They probably make quite a bit of money from this since all E-commerce hosts needs a cert. These licenses have to be renewed each year. They also sell digital certs in batches for companies who want to maintain their own secured company network. Check out www.verisign.com for more info.
