&gt; Really, Let&#x27;s Encrypt has made this a no-brainer.<p>Sure, if you have the time and opportunity to check that the certificate renewal has worked properly every 60 days.  Once you&#x27;ve written a cron job, of course, to do the renewal.<p>For someone who&#x27;s primary task isn&#x27;t IT that&#x27;s probably not something they want to worry about or will forget about until people complain that the SSL is broken.<p>Probably better to throw $ to her to buy a multi-year SSL cert from a vendor.
