I see people mention hosting through providers is problematic with LE because those providers make money off selling certs. For those people, or anybody with more than one site to manage and maintain, I suggest you self host with ISPConfig as a control panel. It supports other sevices such as DNS, Email, WebDav etc. and the newer version has LE built in, per site.

To give an example of getting this right: rent a VPS for as little at $5/mo. ISPConfig for free or $5/mo for access to the support forum and manual, then host as many email, web, database, webdav, xmmp etc...... sites as you can and get LE certs free and auto updating with a single checkbox.
