How has your experience been with AutoSSL?
Quite well on this end. I did have a couple domains now dead that were still in the system I had to clean up. For example one was an Parked domain (Alias) that no longer exists. Each night the system checks, finds it and spits out this message in the "All Users" log in Logs area:
Code:
3:51:07 AM Checking websites for “cPusernme” …
3:51:07 AM The website, example.com, owned by “cPusernme” has a valid SSL certificate, but additional SSL coverage may be possible for the domains “example.info” and “www.example.info”. Attempting replacement …
3:51:07 AM WARN The domain “example.info” has failed domain control validation (“example.info” does not resolve to any IPv4 addresses on the internet.). at bin/autossl_check.pl line 361.
3:51:07 AM WARN The domain “www.example.info” has failed domain control validation (“www.example.info” does not resolve to any IPv4 addresses on the internet.). at bin/autossl_check.pl line 361.
3:51:07 AM The system has completed the AutoSSL check for “cPusernme”.
I have 2 sub domain issues and one Addon domain issue:
Code:

And 2 sub domains that longer exists, but the redirect for them did.
Overall I found the process to be quite easy. I only did a few at a time, as the magic doesn't happen right away of course, it takes a few minutes to retrieve and setup the cert(s) for each. I also manually added rules to several of the site's htaccess' to force www as well.
Images on a sites homepage linked to from somewhere else, will get you a "Connection is not secure" message.
I recommend this new feature.
If https makes google happy and your users can't afford their own SSL proper, this is a pretty darn good stand in.
