Do you pay $ for their hosting of domain names?

I use a ton of open source for free, but I don't consider that  
"supporting" it unless I throw money or time at them. I do that too,  
but am always trying to figure out good ways to "give back"...

Are the GoDaddy certs "chained certs"? Are they trusted by default by  
IE and other browsers?
