Certify The Web is an ACME v2 certificate management application with a Windows desktop UI and background renewal service, plus a cross-platform self-hosted Management Hub for centralized administration. It automates requesting, deploying, and renewing free SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt and other ACME CAs, with deep IIS integration and DNS validation support.

Use cases

  • automatically renew letsencrypt certificates on windows iis
  • get free ssl certificate for my website
  • manage wildcard certificates with dns validation
  • centralized certificate management across multiple servers
  • deploy certificates to exchange or nginx automatically
  • automate https setup for windows server
  • monitor certificate renewal status across an organization

When to choose

  • you run Windows Server/IIS and want automated Let's Encrypt certificates with a GUI
  • you need centralized, multi-server certificate management via a self-hosted hub
  • you want DNS challenge validation with many DNS provider integrations
  • you need automated deployment tasks to Exchange, Apache, nginx, Azure Key Vault, etc.

When to avoid

  • you prefer a free open-source CLI like certbot or win-acme for simple scripted use
  • you need a fully open-source solution with no licensing limits (free edition caps at 5 certificates)
  • you only run Linux and want a lightweight command-line ACME client
  • you need certificates from CAs without ACME v2 support
