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'
