Yep. If your hosting provider doesn't support it, move provider to one that does. Decent providers also do the 3-monthly auto renew so you never have to think about or pay for a certificate renewal again...
There's no reason at all nowadays to pay for a certificate.

...also, I've been listening to Dr. (*) Chris van Tulleken's "The Jump" on radio 4 for the second time in a week.
Fascinating stuff:

The vice jaw screws came today, so the vice is now back in working order.
one of the local bowls clubs is opening their outdoor green on Saturday afternoon, and I will be there. I haven't touched a wood since the Covid restrictions started,so it will be good to start up again.

I'll stand aside and leave it for Dave. You know he can make the best use of it.

In the sport of bowling, the bowls are referred to as woods. Because, in the old days, they were made of wood.

wood: alternative name for a bowl. Derived from the fact that bowls were once made using a dense hardwood, lignum vitae.

Looks like a rich mans game, £650 for just a couple of bowls!

however, as the description says "Never seen such big turned lignum bowls before...".
