Hello,

I would like to know the difference between AutoSSL and Let's Encrypt in simple words. I looked into the many threads and linked mentioned in them but can't understand. I know Auto SSL helps us to access the domain - subdomain with https.

Hello,

AutoSSL is the feature which automatically installs domain-validated SSL certificates on users' domains. There are currently two supported providers that offer free domain-validated SSL certificates through cPanel (Comodo and Let's Encrypt). cPanel-signed (through Comodo) certificates are offered by default. If you wanted to offer Let's Encrypt certificates, you'd need to install the plugin:

Thank you.
