I've been quite happy with StartSSL, and have had good experience from their
support who I've chatted to using Pidgin / Empathy. I also use CAcert, but
that's only form my internal certificates where I need a sub-domain (which
isn't free with StartSSL). As a side issue, StartSSL now do DNS services free
as well (currently in beta though). I'm currently split between between where
my domains are registered and EveryDNS (who have just been acquired by Dyn Inc,
so will likely be merged with DynDNS in due course, so no idea where the free
service will stand in the long term so may well move!). My current set up was a
bit of a rushed decision after having to move in a big hurry from my old
hosting provider who also proviced DNS hosting.
