Let’s Encrypt is an SSL certificate authority operated by the Internet Security Research Group for the public’s benefit. It enables website owners to activate HTTPS (SSL/TLS) on their sites at no cost.
HostGhost provides Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL certificates, which cover all subdomains of your site. For example, https://blog.hostghostexample.com
, https://www.hostghostexample.com
, or https://anything.hostghostexample.com
.
Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL certificates are valid for 90 days and are automatically renewed by HostGhost. Since these certificates are domain-validated, a dedicated IP address is not required.
