What is LetsEncrypt?
LetsEncrypt is a certificate authority which creates free SSL certificates. LetsEncrypt certificates are domain-verified certificates with 2048-bit encryption. LetsEncrypt certificates last 90 days, and the Plesk LetsEncrypt extension will try to automatically renew any LetsEncrypt certificates which have been created.
Note: that with the A-record IP pointing outside, Let's Encrypt will not issue.
