<br>If you need SSL for your own use, it’s easy enough to create a self-signed certificate. If you have a public-facing site that needs a certificate signed by a recognized CA, those are easy enough to get also. The best deal I’ve found so far is a basic single domain certificate for less than $10 a year at namecheap.com.
You can also check startssl.com, haven’t tried it my self because I use a selfsigned.
10$/year for one sounds pretty good to me, Larry :-) <br> <br>Aren’t self-signed ones rather pointless since most visitors would get a creepy red warning screen?
