I remember seeing on the forum a post which had a site that offered free secure certificates for servers. I couldn’t find it doing a search. Does anyone know what site am referring to?

According to www.freessl.com i guess the certificates are not really "Free". Kinda misleading :(

If I am not wrong, freessl used to offer a 1 year trial on the SSL but you need to renew on the 2nd. Then they hike the price to $17 then $27 and now $35.

Cheapest SSL certs I've seen are the Geotrust ones at $25 per year from Rackshack. I don't know if these are available to non-customers, but worth a try.

If you need an SSL certificate, you should be able to afford $25/year. Freessl no longer offers the free SSL. They stopped since May or something.

Yeah that's not a problem, I was just curious about the free ones :)

on the freessl site it does say that they are planning to implement free trials again though.
