How to Use Cloudflare Free SSL on WordPress
In this post I will write step by step implementation of using Cloudflare Free SSL with any website specially with WordPress websites
SSL is not as cheaper as shown in the advertisements, Hosting companies are providing ssl in the cost of peanuts or sometime free too for first year.
what happens after one year of purchasing SSL, Yes you need to “Renew your SSl”, this is the time when hosting provider will withdraw all money including profit on this purchase.
Let me explain with godaddy, they are providing SSL only in 199 with the domain name purchase in first year.
But for second year when you will want to renew your SSL then it will cost you around 3000/- ridiculously for next one year.
If customers buy an ssl from third parties, then godaddy never provide support to implement third party SSL, but it is still not much cheaper.
So what is the permanent solution of this problem, or do we have any Free SSL Provider in the arena.
