I would use Geotrust personally. You get what you pay for.
How is that applicable to SSL certificates? People use Letsencrypt and wildcards from assl.loovit.net without any problems, as far as I know.
Please, do tell us the advantages of paid SSL you enjoy over free available solutions.

Free solutions are shared, please correct me if wrong.. how is this considered "secure"?
You're wrong.
That reminds me of something ridiculous. I used to have some insurance company clients in some software development projects. A client told me not to use any open source dependencies. If some open source is really necessary, go to the RedHat's repository and download the RedHat packaged version, because they paid for that. I was shocked. They told me first it's not their money, second if something went wrong, they could complain to RedHat. It was an eye open conversation to me, and I did a bit research and found RedHat earned a lot a lot of money from these companies with this non-sense reason, or perhaps quite reasonable reason.
Then I started to think whether it is ethical for insurance companies to earn more profit than a certain margin. If you look at the super shiny buildings in Asian cities like Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai, most of them are insurance companies. Even in US, the StateFarm has much larger, taller buildings than other businesses. So why do we pay so much compulsory car, household insurance for them to build those shiny buildings and splurge money like that. Is it really ethical?
It's easy, just follow this rule: Compulsory -> unethical. Voluntary -> ethical.
The free SSLs (wildcard or not) will work just fine, they are as good as the paid ones in terms of security, but there's no insurance attached to it. So if you just want to secure your one page personal site, go for free is absolutely fine. But if you are selling stuff to people or taking sensitive information from customers, you should get an insurance on your SSL in case things go south.
You know that the warranty isn't issued to the domain owner, right?
@riyasander thanks for signing just to necro.
nobody buys wildcard TLS certs anymore. There is lets encrypt and with that buying certs is dead.
Letsencrypt
Let's encrypt does free wildcard certs
Cheap Wildcard SSL certificates @ $75.00/yr at CheapSSLShop.com
Dude just use let's encrypt, you will get that beautiful 'Certificate Subject Alt Name':
Not Critical
DNS Name: *.yourdomain.tld
DNS Name: yourdomain.tld
It is free and you will get the same protection that any paid certificate can offer.
As others suggested, you can just use Let's Encrypt.
I am using wildcards from Dynu.

Don't understand about this necro but I notice gogetssl's retail site is now showing 4 year certificates (I thought 2 years had become the max) at $3.11/year for DV regular $35.71/year for wildcard (https://www.gogetssl.com/sslcerts/wildcard-ssl/). Weirdly their reseller site only shows 1 and 2 year ($39/year for 2 year, vs $43.something retail). I wonder what the story is.
Edit: I see now that the "4 year" cert is actually two 2-year certs. They issue a 2 year cert when you order, and issue a replacement for it at expiration time. The prices between the site and the shopping cart also slightly mismatch, heh.
Anyway, as everyone says, use letsencrypt. I use the namesilo-letsencrypt script for dns validation through the namesilo api, and Porkbun will actually generate the whole cert for you (including the secret key :O ) through their client area. I want to switch some of my DNS to Digital Ocean so will see if there is a similar auth script, or else I might write one.
@willie They can't offer a 4 year SSL, this is why the 2+2:

Yes. There are many providers who can offer wildcard ssl like namecheap, comodo etc.
Congrats on your second comment. God bless your heart.
