If you are looking to get free TLS certs startcom is still in there as I
recall, and unless you plan on doing something out of the ordinary or
that requires the CA to do work (like you want a star cert, a cert with
multiple SANs etc or want to revoke a cert without one of the reasons
listed in their documentation, require an Extended validation server, or
want a code signing cert) it is totally free. https://startssl.com
I appreciate the suggestion, however any company based in the state of
Israel, like StartCOM is, would be my absolute last choice. There's a
reason their certificates are free and I do not believe it to be a
benevolent one.

I can get certificates for $10 and under via Namecheap.com, so the cost is
not a huge barrier, it just annoys me because CAcert was working just
dandy and now I've got another recurring cost to pay every year. Get a
dozen of these certs implemented at $10 a pop and it starts to add up.
Hopefully the new CA by Mozilla will pick up the slack, it looks like
CAcert acceptance has been stalled out in most major browser and operating
systems for many years now.
