I am going to offer a different suggestion : don't pay for a
certificate, use CACert (http://www.cacert.org). From their about page
:

CAcert.org is a community driven, Certificate Authority that issues
certificates to the public at large for free.

CAcert's goal is to promote awareness and education on computer
security through the use of encryption, specifically with the X.509
family of standards. We have compiled a document base that has helpful
hints and tips on setting up encryption with common software, and
general information about Public Key Infrastructures (PKI).
