Hi! So I have a website [www.katerdelyi.com](http://www.katerdelyi.com) and I kept using free ssl but it became a nightmare to install it every 3 months (last time it hasn’t even worked).

Im a total newbie and have no idea what is apache etc so just wanted to check if there is a way around to have an auto renew through let’s encrypt and certbot? YouTube has been of no help and reading other topics I just got massively confused.

I know namecheap doesn’t support let’s encrypt etc therefore I’m considering to change the hosting (any suggestions that support LE?) or buying namecheaps ssl for 8 bucks. thanks everyone for any help.

Hi @katuska305

there is an expired certificate

```nohighlight
CN=katerdelyi.com
	08.04.2019
	07.07.2019
1 days expired	
katerdelyi.com, www.katerdelyi.com - 2 entries

```

How did you create that certficate? Do that again. Two days earlier.

Or check

> **[Does My Hosting Provider Offer HTTPS?](https://certbot.eff.org/hosting_providers)**
>
> Tagline

to find another hoster.

If you’re using a cPanel host that (intentionally) doesn’t support Let’s Encrypt, your best option is to switch to a different hosting provider, or buy the paid certificate from your host. You can also use something externally like

> **[ZeroSSL: Free SSL certificates for your website! SSL Tools.](https://zerossl.com/)**
>
> FREE SSL certificates issued instantly online with Free SSL Certificate Wizard. Downloadable client for all platforms and Docker image available. Free online tools to generate RSA keys, CSRs and more.

but this is a lot of extra work and not the way that Let’s Encrypt was designed to be used.

There's a longer list here as well: [Web Hosting who support Let's Encrypt](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/web-hosting-who-support-lets-encrypt/6920)

Namecheap are unable to support it because of a contract they have with Comodo, according to their CEO. But maybe one day they will.
