The point of a certified certificate is that it is guaranteed, the
certifying authority is saying they've checked this entity out and they
are okay. If the certificate is being certified for free it's worth
about that much. The thing to do here is buy one certificate and and set
up one SSL site that the others can link to if they need SSL.

I know, the certifiers are scamming us, they don't really check anyone
out. The browsers are self serving, they want you to pay them to certify
your certificate. But, we have no regulation, that's the way it is
today.
