Yes. What precisely do you mean by "setup my certificate for"? Are you talking about the contents of the CommonName field or SubjectAltName or what? > As far as the 3rd party goes, I'll have to do some research.

I don't think it would be possible to be both free and obtain trust from browsers like IE. I remember something called a "web of trust" that was pretty close to free. Being trusted requires putting up cash (to compensate for people who trust you and are harmed by your mistakes), and putting up cash usually requires charging cash.
