They provide basic certificates for free, al A keypair can be generated with OpenSSL: - openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout example.com.key -nodes -out example.com.csr + openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -keyout example.com.key -nodes -out example.com.csr This command will prompt you for a country name, state name etc. *All of this can be ignored*.
