If you sign up with a host like TinkerHost you can generate an SSL Certificate from their client area. Tinkerhost runs on MOFH, meaning youll get the exact same vPanel and features. There will be some additional features from their client area. Edited June 11 by BastelPichi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's Encrypt will work on Free Hosting, but the only hosting provider I know that "officially" supports it is InfinityFree. While mine and the one mentioned above supports GoGetSSL (I tried providing LE for a few months, but removed due to the complexity of ACME and it constantly requires fixes) Edited June 16 by SpookyKipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While mine and the one mentioned above supports GoGetSSL (I tried providing LE for a few months, but removed due to the complexity of ACME and it constantly requires fixes) I used to host an tool that allowed you to generate LE certs. Theres some annoying things tho: Lets Encrypt needs HTTP Verification or DNS Verification HTTP wont work due to security system on Free Hosting DNS Verification requires TXT records, e.g. GoGetSSL requires CNAME. CNAME can be created from vPanel directly, while TXT requires you to create an txt record on verificationexample.yourdomain.com (with a domain hosted e.g. on Cloudflare) and then pointing _acme-challenge (in vPanel) to verificationexample.yourdomain.com Rate Limits Lets Encrypt rate limits the amount of certs you can generate for a specific domain (counting all subdomains). Thats why e.g. InfinityFree only allows LE on user's domains and not on free subdomains. GoGetSSL and similar have an very easy to use API, while ACME is quite annoying. If youre still looking to build your own tool id reccomend you use ACMECert, it has support for a bunch of ACME CAs, meaning you can generate SSLs from Google Trust Services, SSL.com, ZeroSSL, Lets Encrypt and Buypass, all for free and with one implementation of software.

I had a successes on YAAC after hours of frustration, i remembered you mentioned that's the library you used for your free ssl site Edited June 24 by SpookyKipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I don't really reccomend yaac, because it requires modifications to generate certificates compatible with free hosting, and also wont work with any other ACME CA than Lets Encrypt (could probably get that running with large modifications).

I changed the LE staging server url to get it working with Google Trust, then some get requests changed to post or the other way around. Google Trust has stricter requirements on the request method and YAAC simply doesn't comply with TXT validation works on free hosting Edited June 27 by SpookyKipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I reccomend AcmeCert. Note: AcmePHP is maintained by ZeroSSL, and with ZeroSSL sponsoring quite a few ACME Clients there might be changes in the direction of ZeroSSLs interests, just like what happened to acme.sh. Just make sure to always check their announcements, to not suddenly have break stuff when the default CA gets changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
