Any low cost of trusted SSL certificate
Dear Experts,
When I access my https site with my self-cert SSL, the browser will give me red-cross and slash-mark on my browser address bar around https, why does it happen ? Whether do I have to or must buy trusted SSL cert instead of self-cert to disable the red cross-mark or slash-mark on https ?
For buying trusted SSL certificate, I have search all of it. there is really expensive or low-cost one ,for example some offer $600US/year and some offer $5US/year, why it is so much different in pricing if those company just use similar encrypt algorithm ?
I also find some Ad about some large hosting company provide Turbo SSL cert through Domain Control validation to cut down the certificate cost. What is it about ?
Please advise
Duncan

Do you agree self-sign cert can be used as a trusted cert if users/visiotrs are willing to import and save the my site self-sign cert into their browser trusted vendor folder after clicking browser options setting that will get rid of or delete the red-cross and red slash mark nearby https on address bar ?
