I quit using register.com years and years ago because of problems i don't even remember (price probably). I do everything through godaddy now who has been good but their prices for anything other than domains can be a bit expensive.

Godaddy was offering them for $44, digicert was offering them for $144 (all be it 2048-bit) and register.com was offering them for $12.67.

Well today I encountered my first NetApp filer device since then and it's left me just saying... wtf?
