In another post, I just mentioned using a cert from instantssl ($125 for
3 years...) I had been using my own generated one (my own CA) for a
while and had client problems... Getting lots of clients to properly
trust my CA was a pain in the ass. Some (Mail.app on OSX) would randomly
forget that the cert was trusted. Bah! Enough..

I use the same instantssl cert on apache, exim, courier imap, and soon
ldap too. For larger sites, they have wildcard certs that are reasonably
priced.
