I do my own certificates signed by my own certificate authority.  That
way I can just have someone download my ca certificate and load it into
their system and then everything I do is validated for them.

Several companies offer free certs for individuals.  One company is
startssl.com.  They also offer unlimited certs for $50 a year.  But I
have no experience in dealing with them.
