I have a few questions regarding certifying authorities:

1) What certifying authorities are commonly recognized by all commonly used
browsers by default?
2) Do I need a certificate from them, or if I have a certificate from
someone with a certificate from the root, will that be sufficient?
3) How far removed could a certificate be and is there any reason to be
"higher up?"
4) If a certificate is valid, will the browser ever prompt the user for
approval?
5) Does anyone know of a cheap CA?

TIA -
Josh
