#Speaking of which, certs can be had through companies like Thawte or
#Verisign. They usually cost something though.

If your whole purpose is to use SSL to encrypt the traffic versus using
certificate to prove to the clients that they are actually accessing your
site instead of some bogus sites, you can use a certificate signed by your
own key, by your own CA key, instead of paying Verisign or Thawte ~$130 a
year for one single certificate.
