Review on Letsencrypt by Ron Turner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful alternative certificate authority

I believe that it's important for companies like ours are in finance industry have all of our certificates set up without taking too much time so they do not slow down our work process! Not had an issue with how easy or hard was to get started with LetServe Certificates which makes me feel good about them if things were really tough getting going this would be one less hurdle. Nothing at present but will leave when we start using their services again. We used letsencrypt while trying out DigitalOcean - It did nothing more than give us SSL encryption as expected however there wasn't any other additional benefits offered such as hosting multiple domain names behind 1 IP address just yet. I like that the certificates are free and easy to install and use. It's not very user friendly. You have to do some work to set it up correctly. There are many tutorials online but they're not all correct and there are multiple different ways of doing things. It's great for personal projects or small businesses. If you're looking for something more scalable then this might not be the right solution for you. We've been able to get SSL certs for our entire website in just minutes using Let's Encrypt.
