Is Let's Encrypt as secure as paid SSL?

Yes, it utilizes the identical industry-standard 256-bit encryption. The difference is the automated issuing process and the cost, not the level of encryption security.

Will SSL affect my website's performance?

Actually, it improves it. SSL enables the modern HTTP/2 protocol, which is significantly faster than HTTP/1.1.

What if I already have an SSL from another provider?

We can transfer your existing certificate or switch you to our free Let's Encrypt certificates. EV certificates are preserved.

What about mixed content warnings?

During migration, we run a comprehensive database search and replace to update HTTP links to HTTPS. Modern WordPress uses protocol-relative URLs automatically.

Can I upgrade to a paid SSL later?

Yes, though it's rarely needed. EV certificates are the primary reason to upgrade. For 99% of businesses, Let's Encrypt provides perfect coverage.

Why We Use Let's Encrypt SSL Certificates

A free, automated, and open certificate authority trusted by millions of websites worldwide.

Trusted by Major Browsers

Let's Encrypt provides the exact same robust 256-bit encryption level as expensive paid certificates. It is universally trusted by Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, and is backed by major tech organizations like Mozilla, EFF, Cisco, and Facebook.

Automatic Installation and Renewal

We've integrated Let's Encrypt directly into our hosting platform. Certificates install automatically in minutes when you point your domain to us. They continuously renew themselves every 90 days behind the scenes, truly set it and forget it.

No Hidden Costs

Many hosting companies still charge $50 to $200 per year for basic SSL certificates. We believe basic security is a fundamental necessity for the web, not an optional premium upgrade. That's why our SSL is, and always will be, completely free.
