I don't know if this is good news or bad news. The biggest problem with Let's Encrypt is that it democratizes access to https for anyone. And while, on the surface, this should be positive, the fact that this will make things easier for people with bad intentions scares me a little bit.

Most websites visitors won't know the difference between the https "green bar" with just a padlock and the one which includes the company name next to the padlock. And they will give them the same level of trust.

What most people don't realize is that a secure connection to an untrustworthy website doesn't mean it's safe to use.

I'm curious what SiteGround, or any other web host, have to say about this.
