I don’t know about cheap, but I have found digicert support to be the absolute hands down best in the business. I am better at certs these days, but a few years ago when it was all voodoo to me, they helped me get my entire brand new Exchange 2010 SP3 install certed up correctly on the phone.

SSL Certificates are such a commodity item. Just buy it from whoever you have hosting from or let the client buy it if they want to

Ah the old good/fast/cheap triangle - pick two!
Digicert are excellent but for labs/testing you can get 90 days free here https://ssl.comodo.com/free-ssl-certificate.php

www.ssl2buy.com they often have discounts on specific brands too, for free you can’t beat letsencrypt, but these are rolling 90 certificates

StartSSL got bought by a Chinese outfit and has gotten SUPER sketchy. They were low budge and cool for a long time. I have had an account for my personal domains for YEARS. Too bad.

We use DigiCert. Great customer service, great reputation, not too expensive.

Started using GeoTrust’s RapidSSL product of late, very cheap/low cost single site and wildcard certificates.

ok - I used lets encrypt as it was built into my web host however when I go to my website it still say its not secure but if I go to a login page it says it is secure?
Not sure what I am doing wrong here?

$29.88 USD - https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/comodo/positivessl-multi-domain.aspx - NameCheap has PositiveSSL Multi-Domain certs with the first 3 hostnames included.

Might help if you narrowed the question down a bit.
What sort of cert do your want ? What’s it going to be used on ? These things make a difference.
For example, I’ve been using SSLMate on a number of Linux hosted services - $15.95/year for a basic cert (gets you fqdn + www.fqdn ), IIRC it’s $25/year/name for a multi-name cert. On a Linux box it makes managing certs almost trivial thanks to the program they provide that more or less manages it for you - if you want, it’ll automatically renew and download the new cert for you !
But on (say) a Windows box, it’s a little less convenient. Though I do have a cert from SSLMate that’s used on a Juniper box - just a matter of making a combined (cert+chain+key) file and loading that.
