Deprecated SHA-1 Server Certificate

I read on the web that browser support für "insecure" Server Certificates will start causing problems in next years browser generations.
https://www.tbs-certificates.co.uk/FAQ/en/sha256.html

"Note that SHA1 is being depraciated by browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, ...) and that the deadline for its scheduled disappearance is 2016-12-31. Therefore, the certification authorities that we work with do not issue certificates expiring after this date anymore."

Any idea how we shall deal with this if next year's browsers refuse completly to browse our "insecure" home servers?

I am pretty sure we can generate it using a different algorithm.
FWIW the challenge with using a certified certificate with a home server is typically not having a static IP which is required.
