Is it possible to get a trusted signed ssl certificate for free?
I could create a self signed one using iis7 for example but these normally require the user to accept them as compared to one from a trusted source.
Therefore, is there a very inexpensive way to get one (free?) as cost is definitely an issue.

there are free trial [ 30 days ] certs - it's very handy for testing.
but for production use - i suggest use buy something. cheapest i've bought were from namecheap - 10usd/year.
TRS-80 : Yeah, namecheap are the cheapest single root certs I've found.From pQd -

asn187 : The link you probably meant was - http://www.cheapssls.com/Farseeker : Whoops, you're right. Thanks Zoredache.From Farseeker -
You should look at : http://www.cacert.org/ It's Free and well recognized by Unix OS. I think it's what you are looking for.
asn187 : From windows, using all browsers, the certificate used on their own website https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=1 is untrusted. Google Chrome big red scary page. That doesn't look so good.From Eno -
Arstechnica had a nice little article on How to obtain and install an SSL/TLS certificate, for free http://arstechnica.com/security/news/2009/12/how-to-get-set-with-a-secure-sertificate-for-free.ars
asn187 : As far as I can tell this is not free or even inexpensive. The cost is around $150 for the need I describe.aduljr : You can get a class 1 certificate for free. Anything above a class 1 will cost money. I have used this ona couple domains for the plesk control panel.From aduljr
