SSL Certificates

SSL Certificates from Brainfusion managed security for your website. We ensure that your lock is always valid, automatically renews and that your site meets the latest security requirements — installation, renewal, monitoring and hardening, with a clear report. You don’t have to worry about it.

The special: we do not sell the certificate, but the service surrounding it. The certificate itself (Let’s Encrypt) is free and encrypts just as strongly as the most expensive commercial alternative. What you pay for is no-worries: reliability, management, monitoring and rapid recovery.

Why now?

Certificates have a shorter lifespan. The browsers and certificate issuers — united in the CA/Browser Forum — have agreed on a binding phase-out path for the maximum period of validity of each SSL certificate:

⏳

Now · 200 days

Since March 2026, the maximum lifespan has been reduced to 200 days.

⏳

2027 · 100 days

From March 2027, this will be halved to 100 days.

⏳

2029 · 47 days

Only 47 days from March 2029 — about 8 renewals per year, per domain.

Where you used to renew a certificate once a year (or less), this will change towards 2029 about eight times a year — for each domain. Manual tracking becomes untenable, and an expired certificate means a site inaccessible or marked as “unsafe.” Automation is therefore no longer a luxury, but a necessity. We take care of exactly that.

What we do for you

🔄

SSL management & auto-renewal

Install, auto-renew, backup and quick restore. Never again an expired lock or a manual deadline.

🔎

Security scan

Periodic checking of TLS versions, ciphers, security headers, redirects and mixed content — with concrete points for improvement.

🛡️

Hardening

HSTS, security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.), CAA record and more. We close the gaps that most sites leave open.

🔔

24/7 monitoring & alerting

We monitor validity and accessibility. You will receive a signal before something goes wrong, not after.

📄

Compliance reporting

Clear monthly reports on HTTPS status, expiration dates, headers and security score — useful for audits and customers.

📊

Own dashboard

All your domains, certificates, expiration dates and scores in one overview — also for subdomains and wildcards.

The lock misunderstanding

Many people think that an “expensive” certificate with a colored lock is safer. That’s not right. Since 2019/2023, browsers no longer show a colored bar or company name at all — a lock only means that the connection encrypted is, not that a site can be trusted. A free Let’s Encrypt certificate encrypts identical to the most expensive commercial certificate.

That’s why we focus on what does make a difference: that your certificate is always valid, your server is set up properly, and you are warned of problems. Read our honest piece about online payments & certificates →

How we build it

🧩

Open source & self-managed

Runs on an open-source platform on our own European infrastructure. No Big Tech, no lock-in — just like the rest of our services.

🔒

Safe with keys

Let’s Encrypt via secure DNS validation; certificate keys stored encrypted in a Vault technology (OpenBao).

🏅

Warranty optional

Do you want a commercial certificate with warranty (e.g. Sectigo)? We offer that as a paid option — the same encryption, plus formal warranty.

Prices are per service; VAT is stated separately. The service works on your own server (SSH access required); We provide a tailor-made advice report for hosters without SSH. Can be purchased directly in the shop — the services are described above, the order buttons are there.

We are now first running this service on our own sites and a select number of existing customers (pilot). Do you want to participate early or just have your current certificates checked? Please contact us — then we will look at your domain(s) together.
