So iv'e purchased the SSL AddOn and requested a RapidSSL cert. Just out of curiosity how long does the validation process usually take before I can install my certificate? A week, or would you say less?
Yeah it all depends on how fast you approve it. Remember once you approve the SSL Certificate (when you get the email message from them to click on the link to approve it). The SSL Certificate will be sent to the email address that was used to order the SSL Certificate (not the approval email address).
