And my parents still buy SSL certs because that's just what they know ๐คข
My last cert renewal was $20 for 3 years. That's less than a dollar a month, not exactly breaking the bank.
It's been a bit since I've asked them, but they certainly complained about the cost before. Almost as much as the hosting itself for sure.
Today it's just more or less stupid to buy SSL you can get one extremely easy for free from Let's Encrypt or Google Trust..
Yeah, I uh...I think that's kinda what this whole conversation here is about
I've tried explaining to them before, but they think that it's a scam because it's free lol
