I know StartCom aren’t the greatest - which is why I tried to move to LE. But the core part of LE is it’s free?
They know, as everyone knows, a lot of people won’t pay out £5+ per domain per year, for every domain, (or domains for more expensive wildcard certs). Which gets in the way of the idea of making the whole web HTTPS/encrpyted. After all the other stuff I have to pay, I don’t have money for that too.
So you want extra key security - fine, pay for it. But for us people just wanting a basic working SSL it’s good enough. I’m not running shopping carts or transporting sooper-sekrit documents, I just want better Google rankings. And give my readers a chance to avoid NSA snooping on their stuff - but those readers aren’t paying me a dime, so I dunno where this money for extra whizzy security would magically would come from?
