This is why I like StartSSL.com so much (besides the free domain and email certs), is that the "pay" certs are actually for the authentication/certification process, the actual certs themselves are free, and you can issue as many certs as you need for a certain amount of time. Besides being cheap they also notify you a little while before the certs run out. I know, I know, I'm almost sounding like a ad here, but StartCom the company behind startssl.com is leading by example here and I wish other CA's followed suit. -- Roger "Rescator" H?gensen.
