You can only install one SSL/TSL-certificate per IP-address

In order to have browsers recognize the certificate as valid without having
the user choose to approve it, you must have a certificate chain which
includes one of the root CAs. This could be for example VeriSign, Thawte or
similar.

In the start of February, Tucows will also be selling SSL-certificates for
the cost of 99$ each.
