spending $300 every 90 days instead of 365 days is so much better /s
i hate apple so much
I was in a meeting before the summer discussing this with Digicert we asked if you would need to pay every 90 days.
They answered that certs will still be bought at 1, 2, or 3 year intervals but can be renewed for free every 90 days.
It's pretty obvious when you think about it really.
Who is buying SSL certs for $300? Is this an enterprise thing? I’m using free certs on AWS. LetsEncrypt is also fine for self-hosting.
It is an enterprise thing, yes.
$300 sounds ok for an enterprise thing
It's more of an issue when it's every 90 days. Even worse is the labor cost to replace the certificate on everything that needs it every 90 days.
