A major problem with free or low-cost certificates is that their intermediate CA certificate does not always point back to a root certificate in client machines and/or software.

You can get single-host certificates issued for free from StartSSL, or 
for very cheaply (under $10) from low-cost providers like CheapSSL.com.  
I've never had a problem having my StartSSL certs verified by anyone.
