Yes you can get them free all day long, BUT the reason you pay $200 is browser support, startssl is not a trusted ca in every browser (someone correct me if I am wrong) plus they aren't 2048 bit, verus someone like digicert, godaddy, or comodo who is supported in every major browser.

You can get an SSL certs for free. See http://www.startssl.com/ as an example. The issue, I believe, with the SSL cert quandary was not the cost but the installation and maintenance. StartSSL does it by a year by year basis, so someone will be have to be on the hook as the primary contact and updater of the cert itself. -lisa Lisa M.
