Free trusted SSL/TLS certificates for your web

    You might have heard of Let's Encrypt project, which is a new certificate authority that issues free and trusted HTTPS certificates. Some of you are probably using this. Some of you, however, would like to be using this, but you can't because your platform is not fully supported by LE client or you do not want to install their client to your system. Let's Encrypt focuses on full automation and management of HTTPS certificates, but maybe you do not need that automation.

    If that is the case, you might be happy to use our simple web interface for Let's Encrypt that allows you to manually generate a certificate for your domains.

    For those of you that take the security really seriously, we do support CSR method, when you are the only person who ever sees the private key and you only give us the CSR and nothing else.

    For all others, we do support generating keys and CSR for you, these data are deleted immediately after the certificate is generated, so if you need just a testing certificate, or you are not worried about the security that much (i.e. your project is not that much sensitive), feel free to use this option if you do not want to operate with OpenSSL CSR generation yourself.

    Please note that in order to generate a certificate, you will need to verify the ownership of all domains that the certificate covers. This is done by uploading a verification file to your web. Also, your web can not be blacklisted by Google, and your email contact have to be valid and its domain has to have both MX and A records, otherwise LE will refuse to generate a certificate and our interface will report an error.

    I definitely recommend to read the help texts on the interface's page, just to make sure that you are aware of what is going on there. Enjoy!

    Why you say Free when you charge 0.25$?

    I say free because it is free. We do not charge anything if you use it reasonably often. That 0.25 is ยข0.25 not $0.25, which means 0.25 credits. Don't be confused by that, each and every visitor and user is given enough credits every day for free. So you can generate a couple of certificates every day completely free of charge. This is same for almost all tools on our site. Should you be interested to get more info about our credit system, feel free to check our pricing page.
