Of course you self sign a certificate for free and make the expiration 20 years in the future if you want. The important distinction with this place, and I've used them for years too, is the inherited trust today's browsers have for their CA signed certificates. I used to use CACert with that same deal but I think they kinda disappeared one year. I'm pretty sure this existence has been mentioned before on the list. $dayjob uses several Wildcard SSL certificates for a couple of domains, it sure is handy but it's from Geotrust not StartSSL. -------- Original message -------- From: Erik Mitchell <erik.mitchell at gmail.com> Date: 11/25/2013 6:11 AM (GMT-06:00) To: TCLUG Mailing List <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Wildcard SSL key for mail and web? Holy crap StartSSL does basic SSL certificates for free!? Not sure if someone mentioned this and I missed it, but this is new information to me.
