Cheap wildcard certificate

[IndyColtsFan]

Hello,

I have a home lab and I need to extend certain functionality to the internet for testing and troubleshooting. To do so, I need to obtain a wildcard certificate. Obviously I don't want to spend a ton of money, so who do you guys use for cheap wildcard certificates?

amazon?
Newegg?

Do you know what a wildcard certificate even is? No? Then why reply?

I think the going rate is about $200/yr. That's what I've always paid anyway. godaddy, etc have them. I'm not sure about cheap though, there may be some other locations that someone can contribute.

I've seen them under $100/yr but wasn't sure if those were reputable.

You should be able to find one for $100-150, I think the wild card certs at alphaSSL (partner with dynadot) is $149.

If it's for personal use you could just make your own.

If you want to pay for one you can get one here:
http://www.startssl.com/

That's where I got mine. It costs $50USD to register and then you can create as many certificates as you like. It's accepted in all major web browsers, so no warnings or anything like that. Certs last for 2 years. Then you have to pay another $50.

I had trouble registering as they want you to send a scanned copy of a phone bill or something like that. All my bills are electronic and they didn't accept that so they had to send me a pin code in the mail.
