TL;DR.

You can figure out your own certs or manage the cert request/verification cycle via Let's Encrypt...or you can let someone else do it for you. I recently joined a company that offers HTTPS out of the box for any domain you own: https://blog.backplane.io/how-to-get-https-80e1b28b878c

I'm biased, but I do think it's a pretty painless way to enable HTTPS for sites both big and small. No uploading of certs, no modifications to your web app are necessary, it just works.

I wish I had more systems knowledge (ie: better command prompt skills) and I wish I had spent more time learning about networks and ssh. Some of those concepts are really not that complicated but just _seemed_ impenetrable at the time.

I had no idea this tool existed. Thanks! Very cool!

I'll read it later.
