That sounds like a timeout error to me. Also, what browser and OS are
you using?

I agree that the new StartSSL.com site is not as easy to navigate as the
old xmpp.net site. In part that's because their processes are more
automated (I had to do a lot of manual intervention for the xmpp.net
certs to be approved in many cases). One of these days I'll write up a
HOWTO that describes how to navigate the StartSSL process.
