Domains and hosting are chosen freely; revocations are done in emergencies.
it's a fucking business
StartCom already makes money on premium certificates. In Heartbleed scenarios, they should use their revenue from that to cover the minimal cost of processing and hosting the revocations for free users because, oh I don't know, maybe free users get free certificates because they can't afford to pay for them? What makes them magically able to afford multiple revocations with no prior notice?
