I've had a bit of a look on Google, but I'm not 100% sure which provider you mean? Where can you get free SSL certificates that don't upset browsers?

Ah, I can't remember the name now... Rapidssl? That's probably it. Check historio.us, the ssl cert there is a free one (which is, sadly, why subdomains don't validate).

EDIT: I searched and it's actually http://cert.startcom.org/.

AFAIK this is common to all certs (free or otherwise). You need a separate one for each subdomain (including www).

No, there are also wildcard certificates that match all subdomains, but are rather more expensive.

Namecheap provides free ssl certificates for each domain you get through them.
