I'm confused... What's the difference between getting the certificate from
that site and generating one yourself?  I've gotten a warning in IE as well,
so if a browser is going to give users a warning, why not just generate your
own?

Regardless...it's my arse as the developer if I don't set it up right and a
client gets hacked....in this case I could care less what the user knows or
doesn't...I know better so I use certs ;-)
