It s funny how free certificates are now easier to use than overpriced ones. Knock on wood, letsencrypt works well , except when it doesn't , e.g. when you remove a subdomain from your webserver and then it refuses to renew them for the entire domain. But still it s the best thing to happen to the web in a long time.
- GuyPostington 7y agoYou should post on the community forum if you ever experience an issue like that again. Https://community.letsencrypt.org
- buboard 7y agothanks. it was actually my fault, i shouldn't have deleted the virtualhost. but when you have many domains these things can happen
- vegardx 7y agoThere's no alternative when you have multiple SANs, all of them have to be validated. But since they are free and easy to automate you can just issue a certificate for every domain.
- otterlicious 7y agowhen you remove a subdomain from your webserver and then it refuses to renew them for the entire domain Most Let's Encrypt clients have the ability to automatically exclude any subdomains that have stopped working. However they don't enable this by default because they have no way of knowing if the domain is really gone or if a janitor just happened to unplug the server to plug in their vacuum when the renewal was attempted.
