     If you're requesting a [Let's Encrypt certificate](/articles/letsencrypt/), we'll use our DNS hosting service to automatically provision the DNS records required to validate your certificate, and we'll [automatically renew](/articles/letsencrypt/#auto-renewal) the certificate for you before it expires. All these services require a subscription.
