It seems that some websites provide free SSL-certificates, e.g. https://www.startssl.com/ see also myth 6 in https://blog.httpwatch.com/2011/01/28/top-7-myths-about-https/:

With Geotrust certs available for under $10 USD/yr [e.g. http://www.namecheap.com/ssl-certificates/geotrust-ssl-certificates.aspx], it may be worth replacing the snake-oil cert with a real one for your users' sake.

cheers,

    Not, we simply use a(n expensive) self-signed certificate. So you have
    to trust Faunalia ;)
    In practice this does not have security consequences, as you are not
    going to give animove your bank account credentials :)
    It is only used to protect your password for this service, avoiding to
    send it in clear.
    All the best.
