Their customer service is appalling, but you pay for what you get.

The original point was that requiring HTTPS would mean free-to-host HTTP services would go out of business as it was impossible to provide free HTTPS certificates, and in that sense, StartSSL proves them wrong.




Not if those free-to-host HTTP services are commercial entities; StartSSL's free certificates can't be used commercially per their terms of service.

And if StartSSL is the only option, then I'm sticking to HTTP. They're a nightmare to deal with even for non-commercial use, let alone commercial.
