Did you try getting an SSL certificate on your website by chance? Without paying $400/yr...

Yes.

I just had to log in and check. We pay $49.99 per year for our SSL cert. (Edit: Certs. We actually have two domains.) Do they do surge pricing or something...?

I mean, SSL certs are free now:

https://letsencrypt.org/

https://certbot.eff.org/

Maybe not worth $50 a year to change your setup but there’s no reason to pay for them anymore.

Some verified certificates are not free. As far as I know, Let's Encrypt does not offer any ev/ov certs. I've worked for e-commerce sites that could not use standard dv certs like you would get from Let's Encrypt.

Granted this is still not a good reason to give money to GoDaddy.
