Let’s Encrypt vs Sectigo?
We install a free Let’s Encrypt certificate on every website we host. Therefore every site on our platform has a secure HTTPS connection. Sectigo’s DV certificate has some additional advantages. We’re able to install the certificate before your website gets live. With Let’s Encrypt it’s only possible to install the certificate after your DNS is appointed. Sectigo’s DV also gives you additional warranty for when fraud with your certificate is committed.
