I never understood why people use StartSSL. Their service is horrible. The interface is far beyond ugly. You could get a SSL certificate in a nice and easy way for 4,99$ at http://www.ssls.com/. (They reselling from different CAs. They cheapest one is currently PositiveSSL)

With StartSSL I've get multiple-domain wildcard (8 domains) cert for $59/year (or 2-3 years if you don't need to change it).

This is pretty hard to find in general, and the ssls.com interface does not make it any easier.

For example the same 8 domain wildcard Positive SSL Multi-Domain: £360

I could revoke my cert a dozen times a year and it would still be cheaper than anything else I've found - happy to be informed of viable competitors at a similar price though (not necessarily lower)

As someone with several side projects (like most of us - I assume) this type of certificate is essential if we are to use SSL at all.

The difference between 4,99$ and 0$. I can bear a slow loading page that I can barely navigate through as long as I can save 4,99$ (or more).
