You probably don't need SSL certificate. One is needed if you are about to maintain a e-commerce website or to accept use registrations. Check whether the "Free SSL offering" has any hidden TOS.

It's only free for the first year. But you only need it if you are going to run an ecommerce site.

Like the other members have stated if you are going to run an e-commerce site then you might need it. However, if you don't plan to run one then don't get it.
