Which SSL would you recommend for VPS managed with Plesk?

[vans]

Hello everybody.
I am using a VPS linux hosted in strato website, with a domain .org which is also hosted there. Thing is that they do not give SSL certificates for "servers", I do not know why.

So recently I have been looking to have a SSL Certificate, because the domain url appears as "Not secured" site.
Now, I am not an expert, and I do not know if "Let's Encrypt" would work for my VPS, which I manage with plesk. How can I know this?

What would be the difference between Let's Encrypt (which is free), and a paid one? I do not mind paying for the certificate, I just would like to know what is the difference.
For a starter website, which one would you recommend? (Even if it's paid one).

I have also checked "GoDaddy" one, which costs as of now 4,75 €/year , and after that, 69'99€/year when you renew.
And I also checked "Comodo ones" (I'll provide you link here: )

Spoiler: Comodo link to SSL offers

But I fail to understand what's the difference between the prices of ( Positive SSL Certificate, and EssentialSSL Certificate )
I only need a certificate for ONE DOMAIN, meaning that I do not need to pay for more subdomains. Just for one.

So could somebody explain a little bit and advice me what to do? I am not an expertise in managing a community as I am starting with the first one this serious, so obviously I'd appreciate some help regarding this issue. Wouldn't like to waste my money in something unworth (or overpriced), and maybe to start with the site, that free option could be more than enough. However, I'd like to know the differences.

Thank you in advance 🙂

You can use Lets Encrypt, but will have to manually reload the SSL cert when it expires by hand. Otherwise you can just use CloudFlare and enable their free SSL certificate if you just it to show that it is a secured domain name via SSL.

Most all hosting providers offer free certificates anyway. Basic but does the job lol.

I have plesk myself and use Lets Encrypt, i have also used cpanel and they too offer free SSL certifications, in the start of a project or website i would say use these free SSLs untill your website gains substantially which would mean you need more ssl cover this is when you could look at paid SSL,

for now as other above me has mentioned Lets Encrypt will do the job just fine for you, Plesk has an addon that you can install if not done so already.

I think lets encrypt is easy to setup and also use. So go with that if you want.
