Ah, you can automate the process by running an "agent" (a service?) on your server. I see Comodo also offer a free 90 day certificate. This could be a weekend project to apply to my personal domain.
As a side issue ... last time I tried to get IIS on 2012 to allow both http and https to the same domain it went haywire in incomprehensible ways and I reverted back to https only. I presume there was some simple trick I missed despite the searches for help. I'll have to battle that problem again as I'd want both working on my hobby site. *GK* On 11 July 2017 at 15:34, Wallace Turner <wallace.tur...@gmail.com> wrote: > >It's a shame they only last 90 days > > that *is* the feature - you set up your server to auto-renew the cert > (every 60 days so if theres a problem you have 30 more to sort) > so right now on my server i have a scheduled task that checks every day > for a renewal. > > read more here: > https://letsencrypt.org/2015/11/09/why-90-days.html > i like point 2) > >They encourage automation > > On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 11:23 AM, Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> is free cheap enough ? >>> https://letsencrypt.org/ >>> >>> b4 you bag it out read the faq >>> https://letsencrypt.org/docs/faq/ >>> >> >> Quite surprising!
