help Namecheap SSL Certificates FAQ
Are all Namecheap SSL certificates free?
No, the free route described for this catalog item uses Let's Encrypt, while Namecheap also sells paid SSL products. Let's Encrypt certificates are commonly issued and renewed automatically through an ACME-compatible host or client.
What does an SSL certificate protect on a website?
It encrypts data exchanged between the visitor and the website, including information submitted through forms. The browser can then use HTTPS instead of unencrypted HTTP.
How is a Let's Encrypt certificate different from a paid Namecheap certificate?
Let's Encrypt is a free certificate authority with automated issuance, while paid Namecheap certificates may offer different validation and support arrangements. The encryption provided by HTTPS is still the key protection for ordinary browser traffic.
What does automated SSL issuance mean for a website owner?
The hosting platform or ACME client can request and renew the certificate without manually uploading a new certificate each time. This is especially useful because Let's Encrypt certificates are short-lived and require regular renewal.
