web server certificates - available for free??

[marchk]

Does anyone provide free server certificates? Or will I have to pay for one?

Can anyone recommend a vendor? I'm setting up a small web site using IIS 5.0.

i dont know for sure, but i'm almost positive that they are very expensive. A lot of services on the web own a certificate already, and you can pay to have your stuff hosted on their servers.

I haven't had much time to look into it. I had thought that maybe Microsoft provided them to it's customers who deploy IIS. Couldn't find anything about it though.
