The solution for shared hosting environments is for your provider to integrate with Let&#x27;s Encrypt (or any other free CA that might pop up in the future).<p>Once this change goes through, providers will be forced to either do that or (if they think forcing users to keep paying for SSL, even though it&#x27;s de-facto mandatory) watch their customers move somewhere else. There&#x27;s plenty of competition out there, and a lot of them already support Let&#x27;s Encrypt[1].<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;letsencrypt&#x2F;letsencrypt&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Web-Hosting-Supporting-LE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;letsencrypt&#x2F;letsencrypt&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Web-Hosting-...</a>
