"Let's Encrypt" is interesting; https://letsencrypt.org/

It's not ready yet, but it's supposed to be an "automated" (most
likely gratis) certificate authority, and they are working hard to get
it recognized to work around the issue where the user would otherwise
get warnings in their browser.

Run by the EFF. Definitely something to look into. I'm waiting for it
to become available, so that I can start using it on my sites/services.

Seth Schoen did a talk about it recently,
watch from 59 minutes in:

(there were slides during the talk, but they didn't capture them)
