    A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol

  • So today I figured out how to install acme.sh to my hosted server space for my websites, and used acme to issue an SSL certificate and install it for a domain. It uses LetsEncrypt, and ZeroSSL for the default Certificate Authority (CA). Then I notice that ZeroSSL only allows a free 90 day certificate, and only 3 of those before you have to pay. Is there any way to generate actual free SSL certificates that do not expire for a year or more and that can be renewed free? I have heard that most hosting plans now provide free SSL certs, so is my hosting company just providing cheap hosting but making money on the backend by charging for SSL certs?
