cryptoknight Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Any reason that this CA isn't used to generate SSL certs? It would make SSL affordable to anybody, and you could still charge the $32 fee to install the cert.
sirius Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Sounds good but the certs are only good for 90 days. Wouldn't that incur an install procedure and fee 4 times per year?
Head Guru Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 We are very aware of this Let's Encrypt. We have been considering rolling this out to our client base, but we are also very concerned about it at the same time. Mostly because of this https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3007326/lets-encrypt-has-issued-15-000-ssl-certificates-to-paypal-phishing-sites and then there is this http://www.zdnet.com/article/lets-encrypt-accidentally-leaks-user-email-data/ My biggest issue is the frequent renewals and the lack of oversight on Let's Encrypt. We will be rolling this out to the shared client base soon, but we have just been watching the market and seeing where we are. This latest paypal phishing issue placed more doubt in our minds. Thank you for your continued business and support.
curve Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Hi Bill, Thanks for the update. I agree that Let's Encrypt need to up their game, but their facilities have also enabled me to setup SSL on several of my websites on other hosts. This is becoming a service differenciator for me, it would be great to see this available on TC as soon as possible. Regards, Pete
skinnydan Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Late to the party on this one - so as of now SSL is not available for install/purchase on TCH, but may be in the future? Any sense yet as to how far down the road it is? I'm seeing that WordPress is going to require SSL for all sites at some point this year (https://semperplugins.com/wordpress-requires-sites-to-use-https/) and for my own peace of mind I'd like to get it in place as well. Bill, any updates? Thanks, Dan Edited June 16, 2017 by skinnydan
sirius Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 From: https://totalchoicehosting.com/shared.html Dedicated SSL $32 / Install - $115 / Yearly Shared SSL--Free Dedicated IP Static $1.00 / Monthly To purchase an add on for your site, please contact the sales department!
BrianB Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Dedicated SSL $32 / Install - $115 / Yearly That. $115/yr doesn't work for those here who aren't businesses. And shared SSL has downsides too - like loss of your domain name in the address bar. I am in the camp that would like to see Let's Encrypt added to TCH shared hosting. I'd be willing to pay a small (<$50) one-time setup fee. There are tools available to handle the automated cert renewals, so that should mitigate concerns about ongoing maintenance. TCH has some great features over other providers. Please don't fall behind the times. SSL is important for all.
riffrazor Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Any update on this? Chrome is about to start marking non-SSL sites as insecure in October.
TCH-Bala Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 We are still reviewing it, please give us some more time to provide everyone with an update
TCH-Bala Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 We are still testing it, please give us some more time to get back to you with an update. Thank you for your patience
markpitcher@gmail.com Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 I'm sure you already know this, but cPanel now has automatic SSL request/installation for Comodo and Let's Encrypt certificates. https://blog.cpanel.com/announcing-cpanel-whms-official-lets-encrypt-with-autossl-plugin/
Head Guru Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 open a ticket with our help desk and we can get it setup for you
sirius Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I have several clients who are asking for free Letsencrypt.org certs. Can anyone tell us if we will be billed for installation, and billed again every three months, if we try using Letsencrypt.org? Details please. Thank you!
Head Guru Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Just open a ticket and we would be glad to go over everything with you.
