The SSL certificate for https://grepular.com/ is from StartSSL. I renewed it 5 days ago. The CN is for "secure.grepular.com" (for historical reasons), with a subjectAltName of "grepular.com"

I'd like to create a wild card certificate, but that costs money. My understanding is that it is a one off fee (60USD) for them to validate your identity and that it doesn't cost money to renew after that point. I could be wrong though. It's not completely clear.

The identity validation expires every year, and you have to pay the $59.90 again to renew it. However, once you've validated your identity, you can generate as many "class 2" certificates (including wildcard certificates) as you like, and those certificates last 2 years.
