Generally speaking, many (most?) hosts offer shared Certificates for free.
You can get a free cert from http://cert.startcom.org/ I have done this before and it works fine for non e-commerce related stuff. I don't know all the details on what is what with these certificates as I spent one afternoon on it 2 years ago so I could lock down an intranet. You can always generate a "bogus" certificate for free (Like the default "Snake Oil" cert that is created by Apache). You will get the same level of encryption as a digitally signed cert (i.e: one that costs money) but the browser will complain about it not being signed or something of that nature.... I forgot the details as it was a couple of years ago. Jerry Guido Programmer MGT of America, Inc.

Depending on the host they might have a shared SSL cert you can use. Essentially they just map your site as a folder underneath a larger site. In the end it is like $20 for a low-end cert that will get you the encryption you want/need and a couple of bucks for a static IP a month from their webhost.
