We have been using Digicert at Hashnode for last 3 years. Looking at the current ecosystem, it seems LetsEncrypt is quite stable and production ready. So, I am thinking not to renew Digicert and use LE instead.
What do you think? Are you folks using LE for your production sites?
Yeah! I've used carrd.co, in the past, to create and host static sites and they give free SSL powered by Let's Encrypt. I also just setup a ghost blog which also comes with free SSL from Let's Encrpyt.
At work, we use AWS and they provide free SSL with their own certificate manager.
Letsencrypt is really awesome. I've used it in a few sites. All working good. In their recent update, they allows wildcard ssl too. All over Letsencrypt is production ready!

Since I have been using my own dedicated servers, I first chose StartSSL, but we all know how that went, so I switched over to Let's Encrypt. Their 3-month policy is good, from a security perspective, however troublesome for me. That's why I searched and found auto-sni, which is a NodeJS server lib which auto-refreshes the certificate. Tight security is important, but good tooling is, too! Why are there not more libs like that, which automate away the annoying things π
I plan to go serverless next year, so I am looking into other providers, too, however I might just continue using libraries like auto-sni and stay with Let's Encrypt.
