RapidSSL will see you a wildcard certificate for about $200:

Configuring mod_ssl for decent crypto is pretty easy. This recipe has
worked well for me:
SSLProtocol +SSLv3 +TLSv1
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
You can see what you're getting by using the "openssl ciphers"
command, e.g.,
openssl ciphers -v 'MEDIUM:HIGH'
