== Let's Encrypt ==
We used to run certificates from StartSSL because they offer free one-year certificates. However, today we upgraded to using 'LetsEncrypt' and our certificates are both more secure and easier to manage. Instead of a "B" grade, we now have "A" grade security.<ref>https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html</ref>

== Service ==
Using our [[Ansible]] role, we can install the certbot client. Then we can install as many certificates as needed; plus setup an automated job which will renew them every 90 days. Ansible has a [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/letsencrypt_module.html letsencrypt module] however, using it is a two-step process. We opted instead to create a more robust Ansible playbook to install and automate certificates.
