I am using free certificates from Let's Encrypt. Their certbot app does all the heavy lifting, nice. Details:
m@case:~/development/config/bitpost/etc/letsencrypt$ cat README
INSTALL ON GENTOO
emerge -av app-crypt/certbot app-crypt/certbot-apache
INSTALL INITIAL CERTS INTO APACHE ON GENTOO
certbot --apache (pick base urls of all configurations found) (cerbot generates certs in /etc/letsencrypt/archive/....) (certbot sets up symlinks in /etc/letsencrypt/live/#HOSTNAME#/*.pem) (certbot updates apache ssl configs to point there) emacs the config file and break out chain:
RENEW ALL CERTS
# NOTE this runs once a month in crontab ~/development/scripts/gentoo/bitpost/root/renew_ssl_certs_as_needed.sh
UPGRADE ALL CERTS TO 4096
(haven't done this yet, may impact performance a bit)
certbot renew --force-renewal --rsa-key-size 4096
NOTE Through 2016, I used StartCom.
