| Dear Jeremy, | |
| We are deeply sorry to know that you have decided to end our relationships, both because we value your business and because we truly believe purchased SSL is a better choice in most cases. | |
| We'll happily provide a 30% discount on your SSL renewal if you'll stay with us. | |
| Regarding the cPanel plugin for Let's Encrypt, unfortunately at this point we are unable to tell exactly if we will be implementing it or not since it involves a big amount of changes to our servers structure. | |
| We will treat any decision of yours with proper respect and understanding. | |
| If there is anything else you would like to discuss about this matter or have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to reply to this email. | |

@kabeza Yes, in the message I posted on this thread in May of 2021 I included a shell script to do exactly that.
The medium essay that you posted involves many manual steps to be repeated quarterly: you have to, of your own volition, (1) execute certbot, then (2) upload a file to the hosting, then (3) finish executing certbot, then (4) paste the certificate into CPanel. This is a nuisance.
Contrast that with my shell script which, once installed into Cron on the shared hosting, will automatically do the first 3 of those with no user intervention—you'll get an e-mail every 70 days containing the new cert and you only have to paste it up into CPanel—just one manual action (that you'll be reminded to do via e-mail, so you don't even have to keep track of it yourself).
Obviously the better solution would be to change providers, but if you're stuck on namecheap I think using a cron script on the shared hosting with manual uploading only of the cert is about as easy as it gets.
