Free SSL/TLS Certificate Authority

+1 for letsencrypt for the simple reason you dont have to worry about renewal. I have very idea knowledge on how difficult it is to decrypt but for sites that have never been behind https its a great first step.

I'm not sure their advantage is not worrying about renewal for everyone. I very much have to worry that every 90 or so days the not so automatic renewal cron runs and works lol

do what i do setup push notifications at letsencrypt ssl renewal time so you get notified via your mobile or tablet device https://community.centminmod.com/posts/34687/

probably good idea to add a calendar reminder that repeats on your mobile/tablet device too

Ok, thanks
I just noticed my class 2 certification expires in March so I will switch to Comodo then.
I don't trust Startcom anymore. But it was easy and cheap to have all my domains on 1 certificate.

Chrome plans to fully de-trust WoSign and StartCom;

https://security.googleblog.com/2016/10/distrusting-wosign-and-startcom.html

Beginning with Chrome 56, certificates issued by WoSign and StartCom after October 21, 2016 00:00:00 UTC will not be trusted. Certificates issued before this date may continue to be trusted, for a time, if they comply with the Certificate Transparency in Chrome policy or are issued to a limited set of domains known to be customers of WoSign and StartCom.

Due to a number of technical limitations and concerns, Google Chrome is unable to trust all pre-existing certificates while ensuring our users are sufficiently protected from further misissuance. As a result of these changes, customers of WoSign and StartCom may find their certificates no longer work in Chrome 56.

In subsequent Chrome releases, these exceptions will be reduced and ultimately removed, culminating in the full distrust of these CAs. This staged approach is solely to ensure sites have the opportunity to transition to other Certificate Authorities that are still trusted in Google Chrome, thus minimizing disruption to users of these sites. Sites that find themselves on this whitelist will be able to request early removal once they’ve transitioned to new certificates. Any attempt by WoSign or StartCom to circumvent these controls will result in immediate and complete removal of trust.

Ok, Thanks for the news @Xon
Time to move away from Startcom!

I will get a new certificate from Comodo.
