View source for Let's Encrypt SSL on cPanel

==Summary==
<br />
Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open SSL certificate authority. It can be used to provide optional free SSL encryption. It is only basic-level encryption, however, so there is still value to purchasing premium SSL certificate from providers like GeoTrust or Verisign.
