Discussion and addition requests for hosting provider list

Hristo from SiteGround here, this statement is not true since months:

  • SiteGround.com (Source ) ( as of January 2018 reportedly not compatible with domains containing foreign characters )

Please, remove it, we support foreign characters for domains and certificates.

Sure thing.

However, I've noticed some users are saying that siteground is having issue renewing their certificate.
Is this issue resolved?

Thank you

Yes, we had issues because of the Let’s Encrypt numerous rate limits. However, we have updated our system and LE integration so our users should not experience such problems anymore.

Still trying to get https://www.veerotech.net added to the list - we’ve supported Let’s Encrypt for a few years now.

Added you.

To providers requesting inclusion: please include a source link (documentation, about page) that describes your Let's Encrypt integration, it makes it much easier for everyone to verify your inclusion.

iPage.com now supports a free ssl option for sites without a paid certificate. Found that the Let’s Encrypt certificate was already available to use and just needed to update my .htaccess for 301 redirect.

There is also this link to “Manually install an SSL certificate on my cPanel hosting:”

https://www.godaddy.com/help/manually-install-an-ssl-certificate-on-my-cpanel-hosting-12027

anyone here tried this? wondering if successful, and how often needs to be manually renewed (or if it can be auto-renewed)

Not really. If you have SSH access to your cPanel hosting, you can do things like use acme.sh + its cPanel deploy hook + a cron job for renewal. But otherwise, you would have to manually repeat the exercise at least every 90 days (recommended every 60 days).

At any rate, GoDaddy still does not qualify for this list.

thanks for your reply - if I switch to a Web Hosting Provider with Let’s Encrypt Support: like DreamHost - will that still necessitate "...repeat the exercise at least every 90 days?"

No, the sites on this list support automated renewal of certificates, which is the way the Let’s Encrypt developers intend for Let’s Encrypt to be used.

On Godaddy with cPanel

I am successfully using Let’s Encrypt. I have to renew every 90 days, as required by Let’s Encrypt. I use SSL For Free to simplify the process.

It’s a manual process. To the best of my knowledge, it can’t be automated on GoDaddy, but I could be wrong.

The process is simple if you choose to use a wildcard for subdomains (e.g. *.example.com). It takes some minutes for each site every 90 days. If you’ve manually added subdomains (cPanel > Domains > Subdomains), they take just a few seconds each to include.

If you don’t use a wildcard, it becomes a hassle ensuring that you’ve included not only your manually-added subdomains but also every possible automated subdomain, e.g. cpanel.example.com, webmail.example.com, etc. I strongly recommend that you use the wildcard method.
