Setting up a VPS.
 

I need apache and Certbot installed. https://certbot.eff.org/, https://letsencrypt.org/ :thumbsup

Please help me get this setup. It's driving me nuts.

I am sysadmin but when i read tutorial for installing let's encrypt, i said fuck it i'l rather stay with http :1orglaugh

That is right. It is super easy with cpanel.

We have inexpensive VPS plans now starting at $10. Managed or unmanaged, with or without control panels.

You can't just pay someone for a one-time setup of an internet facing VPS and hope things will be fine from there on. Your VPS will still need periodic (and often timely) security updates. May be worth considering a managed VPS.

Yep, it seems OP needs a fully managed plan.

if you want https and apache .,
why not install apache and use cloudflare ?

I did this some time ago (apache + certbot + letsencrypt)... It's not easy but it's doable... Yes, WHM/cPanel with it's new AutoSSL is much easier choice but it comes with a price of $15/month for VPS...

That's the worst feature ever.

People think they're connecting to a secure site, when the server itself just uses plain old unencrypted HTTP to communicate with Cloudflare.

install the free CP : CentOS Web Panel | Free Linux Web Hosting Control Panel

takes care of SSL with one click.
