Ask HN: Free SSL Certificates?
Does anyone have good experiences with various Free SSL certificate providers?
- marinintim 11y agoI'm still waiting for [let's encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/ https://letsencrypt.org/) StartSSL is free only for non-commercial uses. For small/personal projects self-signed cert might be an option.
- bigiain 11y agoStartssl.com has always been useful for me. There's only a little bit of hoop-jumping you need to do to get instant free automated ssl certs (with some restrictions on their use). But right now, I'm waiting for letsencrypt.org to launch in a few weeks.
- eudoxus 11y agoI came across letsencrypt while looking for a free provider and it seemed wicked. Then I noticed it hadn't been released yet. tears.
- kjs3 11y agoThese free SSL services provide no more assurance than an email address. You're fooling yourself and lying to your users if you think this means anything security-wise.
