free ssl certs

[GeneralSarcasm]

Hey UF and clans who run they own websites...

 

I recently came across this site:

 

http://www.startssl.com/?app=39

 

which offers free basic ssl certs. ssl certs are the biggest rip off on the internet- people make tons of cash on these things and

they can be generated in seconds, and once the creation process is automated it costs these companies next to nothing.

 

there have always been free options (cacert.org, self signed ssl certs, etc) but the problem with those is that they are not in

any of the web browsers root cert store- but apparently startssl's are, so they work as any other cert you would just pay for.

 

FYI, I have no interest or holdings in this company, this is just a public service announcement. Running forum sites as most

clans do it's always best to use ssl to encrypt authentication, and most clans don't have a lot of funds to pay for an constantly

renew ssl certs, especially with some of us already paying for forum software.
