Does anybody sell certificate that allow you to sign certificates?

Will there be still a trust problem

A signs B that signs C

User X trust A and receives C, is C trusted too?

If B expires, but C dates are still ok, and I renew B (with which opennssl command by the way) is C still valid or do I have to renew C too?

Cheers.

No. These certificates are not intended to sign any other entity. If you
order a standard certificate, you definitely won't have a CA certificate.

When your own certificate expires, you only need to renew it. What else
would you like to renew?
