cPanel hosting servers by default utilize 'AutoSSL' provided by Sectigo (formerly Comodo), but they are also free. Although I do still see cPanel customers on Let's Encrypt certificates, this is a pretty shallow argument.
If there's a key compromise at let's encrypt, the beauty of their system is that the certificates generally get replaced automatically, and best practice is to have a cron check for them nightly, or at least weekly. There should be no situation like Equifax where it goes on for months.
Finally, my employer has moved on to AutoSSL via cPanel and Sectigo, but we still have some holdouts. I'm currently waiting over a month for a certificate issuance from Enom & Sectigo because of some documentation BS. Been working with them for well over a decade, and it's getting worse all the time. We have another cheap certificate from Sectigo via Enom, and we're stuck in a fraud check hell, and they won't even let us begin to configure it. We are a company in good standing with thousands of domains with Enom, and thousands of paid SSL certificates in our order pipeline over the years with Comodo/Sectigo, and yet we can't even get a $10 certificate issued in under 2 weeks.
These companies are dying, and they have themselves to blame.
- nickf 7y agoThat doesn't sound right - I want to look into it for you. Would you be able to send me any info (domain, order IDs) you can to nick (at) sectigo (dot) com, please?
