i rather pay money and get a 1y or 2y certificate rather than use those ephemeral let's encrypt ones for free. The overhead of automatization(implementation, maintenance, support, patching, updating...) is not worth it.
- KnowtheRopes 2y agoCan you get a 2-year certificate now? I thought it was already gone. On the other hand, I love Let's Encrypt, especially when paired with go-acme/lego. It works flawlessly, and I don't need to worry about my certificate expiring or forgetting to renew it each year. I can always monitor my certificates too.
- kawsper 2y agoI think it is 13-months, at least that is the maximum I can buy here, GoGetSsl have a description and a list here: https://www.gogetssl.com/wiki/general/multi-year-subscription-ssl/ https://www.gogetssl.com/wiki/general/multi-year-subscriptio... This seems to have started around August 2020. So instead they will sell "subscriptions" where you get a new certificate on expiry. So technically they will still sell you multiple years, but as a subscription.

- indulona 2y agoI have not checked for a while, always went for the 1y. But it seem to no longer be the case.
- bawolff 2y agoCAB rules apply to your fancy paid certs as well.
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoThe overhead of automation? It's one script that can be set to run each day - exactly the kind of thing that is really easy to do with computers.
