What is a self signed ssl? and why would you want to use it?

A Self signed SSL certificate is that instead of getting a SSL certificate from thawte or geotrust or verisign i create my own certificate and use it.
The reason is pretty simple. i do not want to spend money on a certificate which i can do it myself. A certificate uses a standard encryption algorythim like RSA or MD5 or DES and so on. either i purchase it from verisign or geotrust or thawte or i do the certificate the encryption algorythim is going to be the same. SO the certificate i create is as secure as the one i purchase. then why should i purchase one?

ok...yes you can use it. But, won't you have browser acceptance issues...I know it's none of my business, but im just curious...

I have not tested that self signed certificate but i will generate it now and see for myself and let you know the result.

Sorry but i dont have a dedicated ip in my current hosting to test my certificate so i got to test it after i purchase one. If it works i will post it here.
