DigiCert

https://www.digicert.com/

Great company and good people involved in CA/B Forum who advocate on behalf of user security. They'll never pull some of the nonsense the other CA's attempt and I can't recommend them enough.

edit: to add, DigiCert were one of the only CA's to support Google's motion to reduce max cert validity period to 12 months, which didn't pass[0]

DigiCert were also the CA that helped us get Tor onion addresses validated which eventually became a standard

Very cool, thanks for that. Their prices are super super super expensive though.

Almost 10x as expensive as Comodo for wildcard .
