Bye bye Startcom
In the old days, you would have to throw money at a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) who would sell you a SSL certificate. The alternative was to self-sign or use someone like cacert, the problem is out-of-the-box, no browser\OS supports this so you get a security warning, which isn’t something you want when your trying to be secure. StartCom, was a trusted CA who issued free SSL certificates. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox all trusted StartCom which means you could get a free SSL certificate without the warnings....
