    My domain registrar keeps sending me emails titled “Secure your website
    now - Get SSL today!” -- I’ve had 3 of them in the last three months.

    If they’d actually bothered to look at my website, they would have seen
    that it is indeed using an SSL cert. Only it’s not one I had to pay
    anybody for, since I get it from Let’s Encrypt.

    Their email also says "If you get hosted with us, get your SSL certificate installed for free!”. Presumably if my website is not hosted with them

    Let me guess .... it's Crazy Domains?

    They're extremely pushy. They send out their continual renewal emails

    ditched the greedy fools long ago when they took over my Domains4Less
    account.
