I just choose one good generic domain, ie: secure.mydomain.com, get that
signed, and put anything that's passing sensitive info(sign-ups, forms,
logins,etc) to that location. I've found it much better to send users
to another domain that has a signed cert. then to keep them in the
domain with an unsigned cert. It saves money too.
