This is Ravi. I have a website, it’s www.parkpays.com and it is a non profitable social networking site. Actually, i have ssl certificate in Hostgator and it is going to expired on 8th dec 2017. My query is last time, i have hired a free lancer to install ssl certificate and he installed ssl certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
Right now i have 45 days time in let’s encrypt ssl. If hostgator ssl got expired, what will happened?
When your certificate expires, your site will appear in a browser like the following page, effectively breaking it for most visitors: https://expired.badssl.com/
There are a lot of hosting providers that provide HTTPS via Let's Encrypt at no additional charge. Unfortunately, HostGator is not one of them - according to this page, they charge between $10 and $25 per certificate installation (which would be every 3 months).
You can find a list of hosting providers that support Let's Encrypt here:
