When I got most of my TLS certs from a commercial CA via OV or EV processes, I could have my cert in place before I repointed DNS.
Now most of my certs come from Let’s Encrypt via DV, which checks DNS. So I have to repoint DNS first, and risk users seeing a cert error before certbot finishes getting the new cert. So I keep my DNS TTLs a lot lower than I did before.
Also, DNS service is a lot cheaper than it was years ago, so it doesn’t hurt my budget to send more requests back to the name servers.
- account42 4y agoThat sounds like a server setup issue. Nothing about LE prevents you from getting a cert with the old server and moving it to the new server before switchover.
