We use Google Appengine, and although they have an SSL solution, it was an order of magnitude cheaper and easier to use Cloudflare's SSL.
I'll qualify this by saying our site is public, so we only need SSL because of the HTTPS-only crusade. If you are serving sensitive data, you do need to spend that magnitude more money and time to set up your own SSL.
