If you want a free server certificate, you can obtain one at
startssl.com, for one. Note that you have to first get your identity
certificate, install it in your browser, then use that to connect.
You then can verify ownership of a domain and have a certificate
signed. For security reasons, I highly recommend generating your own
certificate request and getting it signed by them, rather than having
them generate the private key and certificate for you. You can
otherwise never be certain that another party hasn't retained your
private key.
