A wildcard cert, which you would likely want/need if you're running a business, does indeed go for about $200 (that's the minimum I've seen it, if you have a cheaper source it would make me very happy :))


I would want wildcard cert if I have over 10 public facing domain names. And if I have that many, $200 is not an issue.

I mean... your cost argument is weak, almost meaningless. Just focus on the trust angle, it's a reason enough against PKI/SSL.



is that actually accepted by browsers now?

IIRC they used to have a ridiculously awful method for revoking a cert. Is that still the case?


StartSSL's certs are accepted by browsers and revoking a free cert costs $24.90.


That brings it down to $59.90.
