I think people are misunderstanding the SSL costs for Cusion.<p>The SSL certificate expense is listed as $99&#x2F;year from namecheap, ie. $8.25&#x2F;month, so there seems no need to get a Symantec one.<p>However they&#x2F;it&#x2F;he are paying Heroku $20&#x2F;month for handling the SSL traffic, not the certificate itself, which probably includes running a load balancing server in front of their apps that automate the SSL termination across nodes. Which seems like a fair cost to me.<p>I think the description of this cost is the error which causes the confusion.
