We've enabled free, Let's Encrypt-based SSL certificates in the Control Panel.
Introduced in 2016, Let's Encrypt represents a free open certificate authority (CA), which provides website owners with digital certificates for enabling HTTPS (SSL/TLS).
It was launched by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG), a public-benefit organization sponsored by the Mozilla Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Cisco Systems, with the aim of making HTTPS encryption both affordable and user-friendly.
Their main goal is to create a more secure, privacy-driven web.
Let's Encrypt certificates are:
free to use: each domain name owner can obtain a trusted certificate at absolutely no cost;
automatic: the certificate setup and renewal procedures are fully automated; no human intervention is needed;
simple to use: there are neither payments to make, nor validation emails to respond to;
secure: Let's Encrypt serves as a platform for implementing the latest security practices;
fully transparent: all issued certificates are publicly available for anyone to view;
open: the issuance and renewal protocol is published as an open standard that can be adopted;
'self-regulated': Let's Encrypt is a joint community effort, beyond the control of any organization;
