About this tag
StartSSL is a certificate authority that historically offered free SSL/TLS certificates, making it a popular choice for securing servers on a budget. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover how to obtain and install a free StartSSL certificate to encrypt data between clients and services, whether for personal, office, or public use. The process involves generating a certificate signing request, verifying domain ownership, and installing the certificate on a Windows server. While StartSSL's free offering was notable, users should be aware of changes in the certificate authority landscape and consider alternatives like Let's Encrypt for current free certificate needs.
