> There are literally dozens of packages that will register and renew certs with LE using the ACME protocol, and last time I checked none of them will cause your web server to refuse to start, with a valid certificate, because LE is down. The work Caddy has put in though beyond the tech; business, pricing, support, is what differentiates a cool "project" from a business, that effort should be applauded in my opinion. Launching a project is tough... Adding pricing, support, and creating a business is in another league of difficulty.

> that effort should be applauded in my opinion You can applaud their 'effort' all you want, but "they're trying hard" isn't a very compelling argument for using commercial software when the competition is much more mature, and open source to boot. As for your specific points of 'effort': > business Well, they clearly don't have a working business model yet so strike point 1. > pricing The whole point of this discussion is "why would people pay for this?", and their pricing is quite flip-floppy at the moment, so strike point 2. > support Their "basic" commercial support says: > We usually respond within 1-2 business days Wat. Paid support that includes the term "usually" is a giant red flag, even before you get to the idea that you could have zero response for 2 days.
