They actually do offer a service where they proxy your plain-text HTTP to end users as HTTPS and provide a certificate. It's extremely convenient.

Yes, but you still need to buy and give them a certificate, right? The question included "can offer SSL for free without buying certs", which is not possible, AFAIK.

No, they essentially add your domain to a list of domain names in their own certificate.

Really? And their CA allows that? That's amazing.
