- Why should I care about the backing CA as long as all browsers accept it?
- You can register up to 100 subdomains in a certificate and up to 5 certificates per domain/week. With their certificate expiry set at 3 months, that comes out to about 6,000 subdomains you can register. I know there are some setups where every user gets a subdomain. But I'd wager that less than 1 in 10000 LE users would run into these limits. (which may actually be lifted when the beta period ends).
- LE doesn't offer any paid certificates so it's really hard to spin this as a shareware-style incentive to spend money with them.

What if I want dynamic subdomains for my website? These limitations are absurdly low. >LE doesn't offer any paid certificates They don't, but their partners do. If HTTPS becomes ubiquitous and necessary to host a website, they stand to gain a lot.
