There's other places, though I can't give an example right off. Thawte provided 
competition to Verisign until Verisign bought them.

Also, it depends what you want the certificate for. If it's for commercial use and for 
people to trust you, Verisign is well recognized.

If all you want is a certificate to turn on the encryption, get a 2-week trial 
certificate from Verisign.  When it expires, you still keep the encryption, you just 
get a message when the browser sees the certificate is expired.

And, anyone can write and issue a certificate - you can, too.  www.openSSL.org
