Not on all shared hosting plans. And migrating from a shared hosting plan can be quite a lot of work, depending on the website.
Also: Getting a LetsEncrypt wildcard cert for Apache on a CentOS 8 VPS is non trivial (for individuals not already familiar with docker) [1]

- tialaramex 7y agoIf you have shared hosting your install step is at the hosting outfit's discretion. If they intentionally don't support Let's Encrypt to drive sales to a CA then there's no reason to let you do it yourself. This was more common when Let's Encrypt was new but still happens now.
