How should SSL be priced?

SSL has always been priced on a yearly basis (VeriSign set the industry standard)..... the technology was designed that way....

I have been thinking about different pricing models --- not taking the same industry standard approach.... maybe a little more flexible that allows for monthly payments etc....

But my question is what do you think... How should SSL be priced in a way that is fair to the host, consumer and ssl provider?

I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.... (as a starter -- free will not work -- unless there is a follow on revenue model that works with free).
