(a) the first step is to create a "certificate signing request" (CSR)
the way to do this varies depending on the ssl implementation you
use. Assuming its openssl and apache, you most likely have installed
them ;) and have created an RSA key for apache:
#openssl genrsa -des3 -out yourwebsitename.key 1024 (with
encryption)
#openssl genrsa -out domainname.key 1024 (no encryption)
Create the CSR with the RSA private key generated:
#openssl req -new -key yourwebsitename.key -out yourwebsitename.csr
(b) Send the CSR to your preferred commercial CA (Certificate Authority),
like Verisign, Thawte (if you love Ubuntu and its creator). Most of
these CAs have an online CSR submission process, so, check out their
websites for this.

Once you have done (b) above, the CA gets back to you with details of the
pricing, etc.
