Free Domain Certbot key features

Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol.

Automated SSL/TLS Certificate Installation

Certbot automates the process of obtaining and installing SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt, ensuring your site can use HTTPS without manual intervention.

Automatic Certificate Renewal

Certbot automatically renews certificates before they expire, helping ensure that your website maintains a secure connection without any downtime.

With straightforward installation instructions for various platforms, including Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows, Certbot is accessible to both beginners and advanced users.

Web Server Integration

Certbot integrates seamlessly with popular web servers like Apache and Nginx, automatically configuring them to serve your site with HTTPS.

Support for Multiple Domain Names

Certbot allows the issuance of certificates for multiple domain names, enabling you to secure several websites or subdomains with a single certificate.

DNS-01 Challenge Support

In addition to the traditional HTTP-01 challenge, Certbot supports DNS-01 challenges, which allow for the issuance of certificates for domains where you cannot make HTTP requests (e.g., wildcard certificates or domains behind firewalls).

User-Friendly Command-Line Interface

Certbot features an intuitive command-line interface (CLI) that allows users to quickly obtain and manage SSL/TLS certificates with simple, easy-to-use commands.

Integration with ACME Protocol

Certbot supports the ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) protocol, which is used by Let's Encrypt and other certificate authorities for automating the issuance and management of certificates.

Free and Open Source

Certbot is completely free and open-source, allowing anyone to use, modify, and contribute to its development. This helps increase the accessibility of SSL/TLS encryption for all website owners.

What customers say

After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.

Stefan Neykov Crytek

doXray has been using HOSTKEY for the development and the operation of our software solutions. Our applications require the use of GPU processing power. We have been using HOSTKEY for several years and we are very satisfied with the way they operate. New requirements are setup fast and support follows up after the installation process to check if everything is as requested. Support during operations is reliable and fast.
