Ignore anyone in this thread telling you to use StartSSL. When you care about your cert (validated, EV, etc): DigiCert. When you don't care that much: RapidSSL from Namecheap. The end.
Why? What's wrong with it?
StartSSL.com offers free yearly simple SSL certificates, and are supported by all major browsers. If you want higher-grade, you'll have to pay. They're very open about wanting to provide free simple certificates for everyone.

Do you really think users pause to check what type of SSL certificate the site has? .. And what CA had signed that certificate? They don't -- even when they access their bank.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is there a chance you could elaborate on this some? What would some example "bells and whistles" be with regards to SSL certs?
Verisign EV certs get the green text along with the name of the company in the browser (ex: https://paypal.com ) More information: http://www.verisign.com/ssl/ssl-information-center/extended-...

(I don't know the difference between standard SSL certificates and EV ones)

All EV certificates provide that feature, not just the ones sold by Verisign. Are you a paid shill of Verisign? In general, no one should ever do business with Verisign, due to their practice of domain slamming, their Site Finder misfeature, and other shady practices.

"VeriSign was sued in 2002 for their actions in sending ambiguous emails informing people, often incorrectly, that their domain was about to expire and inviting them to click on a link to renew it. Renewing the domain resulted in the registration company being transferred to VeriSign from the previous registrar."

What's the difference between a simple certificate and something higher-grade? What does the simple certificate lack that a higher grade certificate provides?
