Hello guys. Besides the article looks a bit biased, I just wanted to mention that all cPanel based hosting providers are actually entitled to auto issue Let's Encrypt certificates. And to auto renew them too. We started doing that in past November.

We also preconfigured Softaculous to choose https protocol by default for new installations.

So, if your provider is based on cPanel and still not providing Let's Encrypt certs, just ask them to enable that NOW. Because it's just a switch to turn on for the cPanel sysadmin ;)

Also, in a couple month from now, cPanel v62 or v64 will automatically issue the certs as soon as you create the account.

So, credit must be given: say thanks to cPanel awesome staff of engineers for making this integration possible :)

Best regards
