Can I get an SSL (HTTPS) certificate for free?

Question

Digital certificates

Maybe where there are discounts or a special type of certificate? Which you can get for free.

Answer 1

In addition to the mentioned Letsencrypt , you can make SSL, for example, through Cloudflare .

Answer 2

Much depends on why you need it.
To test, try, make a site "for yourself and friends" - a free LE
online store from yurik is suitable, especially if payment systems are tied - a paid certificate from a well-known CA is better. Of course, the "experts" are now telling you that LE is suitable right up to space programs. Of course, you can listen to them, but the payment system will hang up a showdown with a client who has lost money - there were precedents.
If you need EV on a certificate (green plate) - paid without options (and very expensive!)
