A wildcard SSL certificate is $250 per year. You can't tell me that this is a prohibitive cost for someone operating a serious business.

- onion2k 12y agoFor an established business that you know is going to make thousands of dollars in the next year it's trivial, but for a new business with an unknown future it's a pretty big addition. If setting up a new venture had a minimum cost of $250 (rather than being close to $0 as it is now) we'd see fewer side projects and part-time entrepreneurs.
