Heteml.jp Let's Encrypt, JPY 0.00/yr. on SSL Certificates

Let's Encrypt is their free domain-validated SSL certificate and is presented as available on all plans at no charge. It is intended for fast HTTPS enablement from the control panel and is described as suitable for personal blogs and other sites that need straightforward encrypted communication without paid validation. The certificate renews automatically every 90 days, so there is no annual invoice attached to the free option. When free SSL is set on a main domain, the www version is also configured automatically as part of the same basic setup. The help content also shows operational limits, including up to 20 free SSL settings within 7 days for one domain including subdomains, and a maximum of 100 settings in total. Restrictions are also stated: domains with consecutive hyphens in the third and fourth character positions cannot use the free certificate, certificates cannot be moved to another server or another account, and a free certificate cannot be enabled for the same name while a paid Quick, Organization, or EV certificate is still valid. The free certificate does not provide a site seal and does not qualify for the paid-SSL permanent free domain benefit, but it gives an easy route to basic encryption for standard website publishing and form protection.

Across the SSL lineup, certificates are handled from their in-house control panel and are tied to the heteml environment rather than being portable to other servers or other heteml accounts. One certificate is generally used per domain or subdomain, while a certificate set with www can cover both the www and non-www version as a 2way configuration. Multiple certificates can be added to one account, installation is completed after the required steps are finished, and support is available through phone, contact-form email, and chat-based assistance. The wider service is operated from Japanese data centers with 24x365 monitoring, which places the SSL option inside a managed hosting environment focused on secure traffic, easier administration, and stable operation.
