100% Free SSL Certificate for your own server! Hot for website owners!

[freeloaderz]

This is great if you host your own site and need SSL. (HTTPS) There are no hidden strings! I was looking around at SSL providers such as Verisign and Thwarte. This certificate works on IE 5.01 (70% of the market) and higher and is 128bit! You can pay more if you want other certificates.

With FreeSSL, a business will receive a USERTrust SSL certificate that is compatible with 70%* of the current Web browsers (Internet Explorer? 5.01 and higher). There is no obligation to purchase anything to obtain a FreeSSL Web server certificate. Each FreeSSL Web server certificate is good for one year and may be renewed each year for a small fee.

Other important points: From the FAQ

Will you charge for FreeSSL next year?
FreeSSL is available for no charge the first year. FreeSSL customers will be charged a small fee for their yearly renewal.


Will FreeSSL be compatible with more Web browsers in the future?
FreeSSL will soon be compatible with additional browsers like Netscape. FreeSSL's browser compatibility is growing at approximately 2% per month (in 12 months FreeSSL will have approximately 95% compatibility).


It would appear that it is ONLY compatible with Internet Explorer 5.01 and up. Therefore users of Netscape, Opera, Mozilla, etc. will be left out in the cold. Moreover they don't state WHAT the fee will be when its fully available. It's also nice to note that in 12 months time (when you will be paying) FreeSSL will have 95% compatability.

Still, if you are interested in playing around with SSL and learning the ins and outs of how it works then this would be the best way to go about doing it.

Good post... thanks for being a bloodhound.
