[users@httpd] Domain Ownership Certificate - .COM registrations
Does anybody know whether .com registrations allow you to have "Domain
ownership certificate" for free? For .co.uk domains, one can download
the certificates from Nominet (UK's domain names managers & registrars)
but I don't know if there is anything like that for .com domains (from
ICANN I guess). Even for .ru domains you get certificates.
Thanks.//

http://www.startssl.com/
has the advantage of actually being included in most browsers out there.

also, self signed only a time cost.
the lack of inclusion in the idiotic trusted ca list [ cause they issue
certs for cash, not trusted is a better default ] is the only issue with
self signed.
a few other certificate authorities with free certs.
most will issue a free mail signing cert.

What use does this serve ?
If it's to show to somebody, that's up to the registrar.
If it's to prove your online credentials, you prove those when somebody
ends up at your web site.
If it's for encryption and validation purposes, those are never free.
