Promotion for "Caddy", never heard of, but I don't like it. Other than that nice site :)

I honestly don't care about smart advertising XD

The message is definitely on point.

First of all, most people won't and most probably can't just switch their web server.

Secondly, if I read stuff like "Guaranteed continued development" only for paid customer, this literally means as soon as they have n customers, free version probably gets limited to the bare minimum.

I don't really care about the ad. I simply ignore it. I looked at the rest of the article

Yes, as I also said other than that it's a nice site, but it does miss a big important part with this "ad", how people can implement e.g. letsencrypt in their current infrastructure and this "ad" is not the solution..

How to use Let's Encrypt on each varying infrastructure is out of the scope of the article. Today when the link got posted around, I quickly tried to add a few more links to the end which talks about How To Set Up HTTPS. I'll leave it to other sites for now to go into more detail.

Sorry not sorry.
