What is the best way to get a SSL certificate for a domain, which is on a self-hosted server at home?
Are there free options which work, or do people tend to by a SSL service from the place they buy the domain?
I’m also curious @phenomlab do you self-host Sudonix, on your own machine and internet? or do you feel it’s better to pay for hosting?

The location has no bearing, but the domain name of course does. In terms of certificates, you can approach any certificate body - my suggestions below (they are very cheap and effective)

if you really are on a budget, there is always Let’s Encrypt which will give you a free certificate - however, it needs to be renewed every 90 days

I never self-host. This is for a variety of reasons, but it’s mostly around flexibility, backups, security and the like. My advice here would be to get yourself a VPS with Hetzner for example. They are very cheap and the resources are excellent. Support isn’t that great, but it’s no better or worse than you have now of course.

@phenomlab
I just took a look at Hetzner VPS, and the cheapest in list was £44.39 a month!
That sounds expensive for hosting?
That was for Dedicated option though, do you use that or some shared variant?
@Panda Go for shared - don’t look at dedicated
