Edit: Sounds like these include renewals from the thread, but it’s still over 10pct of the internet!
- icedchai 7y agoIt sounds like a billion certificates includes renewals, so not anywhere close to 2/3rds.
- jaas 7y agoThis is correct. We currently serve about 195 million websites, where website is defined as a unique Fully Qualified Domain Name.
- icedchai 7y agoThat's still awesome though!
- DonHopkins 7y agoNot only that, but you also made a profit of zero billion dollars!!! ;) Thanks for such a valuable public service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKKHSAE1gIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKKHSAE1gIs
- johnchristopher 7y agoI'd gladly pay a dollar a year to use the service (not a dollar a year per certificate).
- penagwin 7y agoThey do accept donations! https://letsencrypt.org/donate/ https://letsencrypt.org/donate/ Disclaimer : not affiliated but if you want to support a non-profit that's the best way to do it :)
- rasengan 7y agoThat’s over 10pct! It’s still very impressive! Great job, and thank you so much!
