We use a free, auto-renewing certificate from Let’s Encrypt, a one-of-a-kind certificate authority that specializes in free and simple domain-validated certificates.

The fees we charge are for our time and expertise to remotely help you acquire and correctly install an SSL certificate.  We take special care to adjust your website settings to work with “https://” in a way that doesn’t accidentally lose your SEO value.

Keep in mind, you are not paying for the certificate itself, as we use Let’s Encrypt free certificates whenever possible.

As part of our service, we configure your web hosting to acquire and automatically renew a certificate from Let’s Encrypt every 90 days (this is just one neat part of how their system works).  We request a 2048-bit certificate using an RSA key pair.  The certificate uses the X.509 standard, and the certificate issued is for the general purpose of domain validation.

Not all web hosting providers are compatible with the free, auto-renewing SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt. If we determine your hosting is not compatible with Let’s Encrypt, we will either assist you with installing a different type of certificate from your provider or refund your money.

Our goal is to schedule your installation time within 1 business day for Quick SSL Conversions, and 1 to 3 business days with True SSL Conversions.

Realistically, how soon is mostly up to you.  We totally understand you’re a busy professional and it may take an extra day or two to schedule something depending on your availability.  We are in not in any hurry and also prefer to take the correct, non-rushed steps to convert your site to HTTPS.

Fortunately, we use a simple booking link that allows you to pick your time without all the back-and-forth of scheduling.

Web hosting providers that do not support Let’s Encrypt often have certificates they sell for $75 to $350 per year.  We offer our service for a flat one-time fee of $70. No hidden fees or surprises.
