Take a look at letsencrypt. https://letsencrypt.org/ Its in part by mozilla (the firefox people). Its completely free.

If you want free, use startssl.com . The best free ssl there is
The best solution for the free SSL certificate dilemma is the one offered by the guys @letsencrypt.org.CHT said:blunix said:
We do have that here though.
The best way to implement it is to create your own account with them and get as many certificate as you need for any website you have and wherever it is located.
- you dont need an account to use letsencrypt, you can use the certbot at github (cli) on your server (in a cron job for auto renewal)
- Imho its the best solution as I can renew via a cronjob
- You can not request unlimited domains, but you can have up to 500 Subject Alternative Names per certifiacate. Google letsencrypt limitations. Its unlikely you will run into them.

Our friends @letsencrypt.org are smart enough to create one for you when you ask for your first certificate with them. The account is created behind the scene and is tied to the email address that you give them the first time.
Again, you can create as many certificate/domain as you like and NO! their certificate is per 1 domain and don't support alternate names.
Well yes, there is an account behind the scenes.
Of course you can create SANs. They dont want you to request to certs for example.com and www.example.com (and web.example.com and so on).
https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
"If you have a lot of subdomains, you may want to combine them into a single certificate, up to a limit of 100 Names per Certificate."
I thought 500. Maybe it changed.

I Would Use Cloudflare I Like It The Best It Just Works, It Is Very Relible, And You Get DDoS Prot With It, It Just Works And It Is Amazing If You Want Good SSL Certification Then Use Cloudflare

So far, free ssl providers have only got me so far. I've got a multisite from digicert, which isn't free by any stretch of the imagination, but it works, it's easier, and it's pretty damn cheap considering I've got 11 sites on it. Averages to something like $60 / year / site but that's because there's 11 of them. I think the first site was 150, the rest are 50 each?
