"Buying" as if Let's Encrypt isn't a thing. ;-)
- walrus01 10y agowell, for any organization that is doing serious ecommerce these days, you would want an EV SSL cert. Which is about $95/year from namecheap or a competitor. The GUI advantages for ordinary totally ignorant end users of seeing the happy green bar at the top are enough to justify the less than $10 per month ongoing cost.

- eropple 10y agoIt really, really doesn't matter if a Hacker News poster "sees through it". It matters that the rest of the world cares. Technically-correct well-actuallys lose to real-world perception ninety-nine percent of the time.
