SSL Certificate

Hi,

last night I noticed something I should have been aware of before this: at some point I had applied an SSL certificate at StartSSL where it was possible to get one for free; a fact that a personal web site maintainer evaluates high. Google, Mozilla, and probably other major browser vendors have distrusted certificates allocated by StartSSL due to several management or technical issues. I did not notice the decision until the Chrome browser was updated to the newest version and it blocked the access to my web site. I tried to handle quickly, but during last night I wasn’t able to find a quick and durable solution (an affordable certificate that would be easily available) so I simply replaced the certificate with a self-signed one.

This all means that you now probably get a warning about the certificate (like the one depicted below that is unfortunately in Finnish), when accessing the site so this should not be a surprise, but I’ll try to fix this as soon as possible. In case one of you has suggestion of a suitable SSL certificate that preferably is an affordable one too, please let me know.
