Secure HTTPS shouldn't be a paid add-on. Every site on PixelForge Cloud Web Hosting gets a free Domain Validation (DV) certificate from Let's Encrypt, issued and renewed automatically for as long as the site is with us.
What's included free
- A trusted Let's Encrypt DV certificate — the padlock, recognised by every modern browser.
- Automatic issuance when you enable SSL on a site, and automatic renewal before expiry.
- No cost, no certificate files to install, and nothing to remember to renew.
When you'd want a paid certificate
- Only if you need validated-business assurance (OV/EV) — those are coming soon.
- For everyday secure browsing, the free DV certificate is all most sites ever need.
