And my parents still buy SSL certs because that's just what they know 🤢

Today it's just more or less stupid to buy SSL you can get one extremely easy for free from Let's Encrypt or Google Trust..

Yeah, I uh...I think that's kinda what this whole conversation here is about

I've tried explaining to them before, but they think that it's a scam because it's free lol

My last cert renewal was $20 for 3 years. That's less than a dollar a month, not exactly breaking the bank.

It's been a bit since I've asked them, but they certainly complained about the cost before. Almost as much as the hosting itself for sure.
