yes this is clear to me its is so, but i dont know why self signed ssl is being used so much when there is plenty of good trusted signers :/
There's little advantage to using CAcert or other free signing authorities compared to self-signed, since not even Firefox has them as a trusted authority. The result is that visitors get the same confusing and uncertain message whether from a little known authority or a self-signed key. The signed keys that don't trigger warnings cost money.
