Free SSL certificate. Help

I need a free SSL certificate for my site.

He is using cloudflare free DNS.
This hosted on dreamhost and use wordpress.

I researched about it and came to the conclusion that the best options would be:
letsencrypt or cludflare SSL

1° I read that cloudflare does not work with letsencrypt true?

2° The SSL cloudflare does not work on older browser that true? Is there any alternative to this? The two options I know has problems.

 

Submit a support request to Cloudflare and ask them.

If you are looking free SSL for sort of period then I suggest you to use Comodo SSL which has 4 month trail period.

 

https://letsencrypt.org/ offers free SSL certificates, but you'll need to find a host that supports their SSL certificates.

 

You can get cheapest paid SSL at namecheap for $9/year. I'm using it for one domain name.

Letsencrypt free ssl is good, but you should know how to implement it. I want to go for this, for one domain name to test. This one is hardest. But this one is real ssl that is issued to your own domain name like paid ssl.
You can get it from here https://certbot.eff.org/

Cloudflare ssl is ok, but the SSL is issued to cloudflaressl subdomain name. If you can't go for other options, then go for this one. It will be the easiest one.

 

I use VPS.net as web host and they provide free SSL certificates (Comodo) as part of their cloud site package, you only need to buy the dedicated IP.

However, I also heard that Letsencrypt is the way to go if you want to implement free SSL certificates.

 

I would also throw my vote in for Let's Encrypt. It's free and the set up is fairly easy, plus the project is endorsed by many big IT brands. You say the hosting is done at dreamhost - according to their blog (https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/2016/01/20/free-ssltls-certificates-at-dreamhost-with-lets-encrypt/), they already offer free Let's Encrypt SSL certs and you can set them up from the config panel. So I'd say go with this

 

thanks for your help. CloudFlare does not work with SSL Let's Encrypt the free plan. I chose to use the certificate cloudflare for now.

 

SSL cert is cheap nowadays, why not u purchase 1?

 

There are plenty of hosts that offer free SSL Certs. They work, you must activate and make necessary changes to htaccess. then activate on ssl providers site for any badges you need.

 

If you want the ssl to be widely accepted across browsers then buy verisign ssl or go for comodo as free option.

 

Geo Sites is another good one, with the change in googles algorithm just a better route to go with a well known SSL Cert. for SEO as well, this includes the free offered by some hosting providers. The only difference is really just the badge.

 

I'd also recommend ssls.com - they do the cheap $4.99 deal here. Been using it on a few own and client websites, all work fine with full browser support and no reported issues so far, so it may be worth checking out. Free isn't always the best to go with.
