    No, it does not, when the cPanel provider disables AutoSSL and doesn't install the Let's Encrypt plugin, which is a lot of them, including Namecheap.

      That's like saying "Linux doesn't support GUI programs." and when someone says yes it does, saying "No it does not, when the admin sets it up without X or Wayland installed."

        The Let's Encrypt extension is not installed by default and needs to be explicitly installed, and I've never seen a cPanel provider that has it. You can't use ACME to get a cert without said extension. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that in practice in general Let's Encrypt is not usable with cPanel providers. In the context of this conversation, people were talking about how Let's Encrypt certs can easily be used to enable HTTPS, and my point is that that's rarely possible with cPanel hosts.
