WHY?

You mean hiding the source code? You don't need anything of the sort.

No, but if you find one post it here and someone will break it in a
matter of minutes (or less).

Froggie's Law: If you think you have to hide your source, it's a sure
bet you have nothing worth hiding.

You can generate your own certificate, but user's will get a warning because
it isn't signed by a recognised authority.

You will also have to fork out extra for hosting (due to the way SSL works,
you can't used it with shared hosting[1]).


[1] That's a simplistic view. The longer version is that you can, but only
one site per ip address / port can have SSL so you aren't likely to find
many shared hosting packages that support it.
