In that case, you don't need to buy anything at all. Just use a self-signed certificate as Jim suggested. > A "self-signed" certificate offers the same security as one > that I purchase? Certificates provide two things - they allow you to encrypt all communications between a browser and a server, and they allow you to verify that a site is what it identifies itself as being. Self-signed certificates encrypt everything just like any other certificate, but because they're not issued by a trusted certificate vendor, they don't let you verify anything.
