I use Namecheap for SSL certificates (we have domains and hosting elsewhere).

The old interface within the redesign is jarring and, as you know, that old interface is pretty ugly! I love how it will show me the first 10 in a listing and then offer paging rather than showing 100 or all by default. Will be happy to have that fixed.

Other than that, I have at times found the split between the old (customer) and new (sales) interfaces confusing. I'll often be clicking through SSL info in the sales interface when I'm trying to remember where to get my client SSL lists.

Apart from that, I've been happy with the pricing and when I've needed support via live chat it's been really polite and quick. I recommend Namecheap despite that interface issue.

I would be interested to know Google's plans for selling SSL certs, if any. They have been quite vocal that sites should switch from HTTP to HTTPS at the risk of having their Page Rank downgraded if they don't, but this requires paying for and deploying an SSL certificate.

So, if Google is so interested in seeing universal HTTPS, what sort of SSL cert carrot will they provide to their registered domains to go along with the Page Rank stick?
