Let’s Encrypt: Protect your website in 3 steps

As a result, visitors will not see a warning about the certificate’s authenticity. This tops self-signed certificates (free but not trusted), especially when securing an E-commerce website.
Let’s Encrypt not only issues free SSL certificates, but also provides the tools to recall and renew them. Something that should save system administrators loads of time and effort.
