Quick plug for Dreamhost, who have partnered with LetsEncrypt and offer free SSL certificates with their standard web hosting product, easily setup from the control panel: https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/ssl-tls-certificates/

This is despite the fact they previously made money from selling certificates, and still will take your money for doing so if you want.

(Not an employee, just a satisfied customer who now has free HTTPS hosting etc..)

And I'll counter this plug with a quick reminder that Dreamiest stores your password in cleartext, as was recently confirmed to me by a support tech.

(All in all, a satisfied customer also, but I ran to the Two-Factor Authentication setup in the panel as soon as I found this out.)

Thanks for that, I've been on commodity hosting for a while (site5, actually been very happy with them), but they don't offer lets-encrypt, so this is quite attractive.
Same for cpanel, chances are if your hosting uses cpanel you can set it up just by clicking.
