I’m an old man who operates and manages a dozen websites. I am persuaded that HTTPS is important. My guess is that of the millions of website managers, a majority are like me. We don’t know how to install HTTPS. You guys and gals are geniuses. May I request that you publish simple and clear, step-by…

wow - $400 for 14 websites. I’m not sure you chose optimally there. Switching from GoDaddy to an equivalent provider that supports Let’s Encrypt shouldn’t cost you more than a couple of hours of time in transferring the sites / dns over.

I wish I had come across this thread sooner. Maybe I could have saved the OP some money. They don’t make it easy, but if a GoDaddy hosting account is on a Linux server that uses cPanel, then it is possible to use 3rd party SSL certs, including LE’s. The OP has already done the move, and spent the …

GypsyPriest - Hallelujah, brother, and thank you! The hardest part of flying a jet/turbine helicopter is starting it. The flying part is easy.
