+1 for SSL on all of adium.im.

I think since Adium is part of IMFreedom, that counts as an 501(c)(3). Whether 
this means it's cheaper to order via them at the same place Pidgin did, I don't 
know, but it's probably best to have them do the validation anyway.

Personally, I only have experience with StartCom and never had a problem with 
them.

Also, it seems SSL is simply not enabled on other subdomains.
