   The free ones expire in 90 days. Nobody provides free 1-yr certs. I checked.
   
   However some providers charge quite low prices, like $6 per year or $3.99.
   
   Namecheap and the big names like to nickel and dime you. Give you a low introductory price and $20 or $50 for yearly renewals for this and that. Gotta stay vigilant.

     @KuteboiCoder @bot @amerika The 90 problem is completely automatable, and is what most people do. whole software packages exists to just run the thing every so often and reprovision within a window. Pretty much set it and forget it. you can even roll your own on a cron job if you don't want to fool with the premade stuff.
     
     If what you have works for you, more power to ya, but I would highly recommend you re-evaluate, especially if paid ssl certificates are a blocker for one of your objectives.

     I'm assuming that whoever is providing freemium shit for 90 days will just block your automation with a captcha when they catch wise.

     @KuteboiCoder @bot @amerika Let's Encrypt has no paid plans, and automation is explicitly built in because that's how they want you to use it. Maybe you don't trust the ISRG who runs it but that's a separate issue.
