I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

      I assume you are correct and anybody can get a cert (with max. 1 wildcard presumably) for (again presumably) one site for free?
      This @state_electrician is very insistent; do you have any idea what exactly costs €15/month (according to them)? What could they mean by LE (LetsEncrypt) equivalent?
      They seem to claim that the free cerst are only for a limited time, according to the site?

        I am referring to this: https://zerossl.com/pricing

        Under the section “ZeroSSL Certificates” it says for the free tier “3 90-Day Certificates” and for the cheapest paid option at 15 Euro per month “∞ 90-Day Certificates” (∞ being the infinity sign). The latter is what I currently get for free from Let’s Encrypt. So to get the same kind of service, I would have to pay ZeroSSL about 180 Euro a year. Which is something I am currently not willing to do, as all my ~40 certificates are only for myself.

          I think there is some confusion because I have had more than 4 domains at one time and they did not complain about it. 2 of them were wildcards. Possibly a “90 day certificate” is something specific that they are offering?
