ACME automation without running certbot yourself

docstoc speaks ACME to Let's Encrypt on your behalf. You manage domains in the product UI (or API); we handle orders, challenges, and renewals.

Home / SSL / ACME

Same protocol, different ops model

ACME is the open protocol Let's Encrypt and other CAs use. DIY means certbot or another client on a server. docstoc means one DNS TXT and in-product renewals beside your invoices.

When to stay DIY

Large fleets with existing ACME clients, or hosts that already auto-issue on their panel, may not need another control plane. Use docstoc when you want SSL next to business workflows.

FAQ

Can I point certbot at docstoc as a CA?

No — docstoc is not a public ACME CA endpoint. We are a managed client of Let's Encrypt for domains in your account.
