Certificate Authority

[Scott Jackman]

There was a discussion a couple of months ago about cheap certificate
authorities, and it was  mentioned that GoDaddy had a $29 product.  I
have a small non-commercial web-site that I want to enable SSL on.  In
my research I found www.cacert.org which does free SSL certificate
signing.

Has anyone used or heard of CAcert and can tell me why I should or
shouldn't use this service over GoDaddy or a larger entity such as
Veri$ign?
