-I will be using SSL certificates from CA Cert as they are free. CA Cert are not a commercial 'paid-for' certificate provider and so their keys will not automatically be installed in your web browser or mail client. You will need to install their root keys on every machine you wish to connect from over SSL to your machines which use CA Cert keys to avoid irritating errors. If you want to avoid this hassle or you want commercial grade support (and perhaps some insurance), go with a commercial SSL certificate provider like Thawte, Verizon or Comodo. By installing the CA Cert root keys, you are agreeing to the fact that you trust CA Cert to be secure and to verify your own keys against. In terms of commercial liability, this might not be something you want to do.+I will be using SSL certificates from [[http://www.cacert.org/|CA Cert]] as they are free.

 If you want to use a commercial SSL provider, then this should still work for you, but the CA Cert specific stuff will need to be translated to apply to your own provider. Of course in that case, you won't need to import the CA Cert root keys either. If you want to use a commercial SSL provider, then this should still work for you, but the CA Cert specific stuff will need to be translated to apply to your own provider.
