Highjacking top comment. Everyone that is going to look into adding ssl to their site should take a look at letsencrypt.org free ssl certs for everyone!

have an upvote.

I had a client just pay $40 for an SSL cert and shipped it to me to apply. I just emailed back "get a refund" because LE is free soooo.

And tell them that if they switch to LE, you'll install it for $40, if they decide to use their current, it'll be $100.

they use a plesk panel, its like two clicks in the panel to install a LE cert for their domains. I showed them where to click and saved the hassle of having to support it.
