I have never paid for a certificate, so I could not give you any recommendation for that, sorry. That said, there are other free CAs out there if Let's Encrypt doesn't suit your purposes. See e.g. ACME CA Comparison - Posh-ACME

I just wanted secure my personal websites using Let's Encrypt. If you have some tutorials or any form of guides that I can use to educate myself please just drop them here. I'm not trying to take advantage or abuse anything but be educated.

Thanks Osiris

Generally speaking:

  • Use the staging environment for testing;
  • Store certificates and the corresponding private key on persistant storage, not ephemeral;
  • Make backups;
  • Make sure port 80 is reachable from the internet when using the http-01 challenge;
  • If the http-01 challenge is a no-go, you probably should look into the dns-01 challenge.

Thank you very much for the link and the guidance it's very much appreciated. I'll start looking this and get this going. I wasn't aware of the staging environment for this cert. It's a better outcome for testing.
