Can I use Letsencrypt with Namecheap?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:32 pm

Letsencrypt is a free, open source certificate authority (CA) that provides encrypted HTTPS services. It is a popular tool for web server administrators and website owners to secure their websites.

Namecheap offers Letsencrypt certificates as part of our DNS and SSL services.

PRO TIP: Using Let’s Encrypt with Namecheap can be tricky and may not work as expected. Proceed with caution and backup your data before attempting to use Let’s Encrypt with Namecheap.

There are a few things to keep in mind before using Letsencrypt with Namecheap. First, the two services are not fully integrated yet. You must first set up a Letsencrypt account and then configure Namecheap to use it.

Second, Letsencrypt certificates are only valid for a certain amount of time (usually six months). Finally, while Namecheap can automatically renew certificates, you must also do so manually if you want them to remain valid.

All in all, using Letsencrypt with Namecheap is a straightforward process that can provide additional security and privacy for your website.
