I have a customer who has a page with a form that they'd like to appear
as
https but they're not taking credit cards or anything like that and they
don't want to spend much. Can anyone recommend, or suggest, a cheap
shared
certificate type of thingy?

Check with the host. Several I've used have a free shared SSL solution
included for free.

They usually have severe restrictions, though, that make them
unsatisfactory.

To the OP: the usual "shared certificate" simply means that you must
access one or make pages at a domain name that is covered by that
certificate. The most common ways are a sub-domain
(https://www.mysub.host.com covered by a wildcard certificate for
host.com) and an area you are grated permission to load pages
(https://host.com/~mysub).

In both cases, unless your client is prepared to forgo their own
domain name for URLs based on host.com the effect is that some pages
appear to be from another site, and they are exactly those pages you
want people to have the most confidence in.
