PRO TIP: If you are using HostGator to host your website, you should be aware that there is no official support for Let’s Encrypt on this platform. This means that if you want to use Let’s Encrypt to secure your website, you will need to do so manually. While this is not difficult to do, it is important to be aware that you will be responsible for maintaining your Let’s Encrypt security certificate. If you are not comfortable doing this, you may want to consider using a different hosting platform.
