OT: Looking for advice on SSL certs

[Mark Phillips]

I would like to find an inexpensive (ie really cheap) ssl cert for a
project I am working on. I have a self-signed certificate now, and I would
like to get rid of the annoying warning messages.

A side question. When I click on "continue" in the warning message, I
connect to the site. However, the https in the Chrome browser bar is red
and has a slash through it. Does that mean the traffic is not encrypted, or
is it just another warning that the cert is not verified?

All I need to do is encrypt the traffic between the browser and server.
There is no e-commerce involved. The content contains some sensitive
financial info, so I would like to encrypt it.

I googled for cheap certs, and there are many providers, so I have no idea
which ones are any good. If you have any experience with a particular
provider, pleaser let me know.

Thanks,

Mark
