You will have to purchase a certificate from a trusted authority. Self-signed certificates are not from a trusted authority. Verisign[^] sells them as do many other vendors.

Thank you Mr.RyanDev, but few of them suggested me that you can generate own self-signed certificate if i have own IIS(web hosting provider). i have own web hosting provider.

Yes, windows server allows you to create a self-signed certificate, but that's all it is. Because it is self-signed and not signed by a world-wide recognized provider the browser will warn the user. If you are doing a site that is for internal use this may be perfectly fine. The encryption will still work correctly, the only problem is the warning in the browser.
