StartSSL still operates that way. They are not only extremely cheap, but also very thorough. We had to send them quite a few documents and they called not only me, but also the company owner on the phone for verification. It's a shame that not more people know about them. They're essentially breaching the certificate oligopoly and make SSL available to a much wider audience.

Really? I just issued my cert with StartCom by just clicking on the web and proving just that I am able to read the mail associated with the domain name.

As you may have noticed, StartCom is offering certificates at different verification levels. You got the Class 1 Free certificate while I described the procedure for Class 2 Verified certificates.
