Openssl can help you to build own CA (and server cert from thisCA) or just issue self-signed certificate
Yes you can generate a localized cert to your website for testing purposes. How you go about doing it will certainly depend on what web server you are going to use.

Generating doesn't depends from used webserver, only enabling on server Nov 12, 2011 at 14:38

"true but the process for generate is different from apache, to IIS, to nginx. No??" - I'm not sure what you can't use prepared by 3-rd party cert+privkey files in IIS: never used IIS, and httpsin nginx also... can make mistake Nov 15, 2011 at 23:54
