Free low-end SSL certs are available from startssl 
(https://www.startssl.com/).  I installed one the other day on my 
private site.  The only problem I've seen (and this isn't much of a 
complaint) is that the startssl root cert isn't trusted by default by 
IE6 on win2k (I'm sure updating the roots would probably fix 
that).  Anything later should be fine.
