Hi Colin,

take a look at https://www.startssl.com/ for free certs. They started
with multiyear support a few months ago so it should be an even swap
for your customer. You can add multiple fqdn to one cert.

BUT, they also mentioned having problems with their CA-cert and
browsers but hopefully they got it sorted by now.

Best regards,

Ricky
