As much as I like the idea of free SSL certificates... For anything beyond a personal site, even an hour is crazy.

I can have a basic SSL certificate in 15 minutes at the outside for like $8. My time at work is worth a lot more than $8/hr.

I'm intrigued to know how the process for a 8$ cert is different to that of a basic free StartSSL cert. The last paid for certificate I got was a year ago, and getting a StartSSL certificate is just as streamlined a process as the paid one. The only thing I can think of is if you are talking about certificates with wild-card matching, which will save time on the individual certificates you have to get when free. But for $8, is it possible to get a wild-card matching one?
