What I personally find more inconvenient than any of those limits (as a non-power user) is the 3 month lifetime of certs. I am a windows user. Running a VM once a month just to renew my 3 certs is a huge headache. Will it really be that much of a burden to have like a year?

Not to mention the whole process is so very incredibly fugly. For something as important as it is why is there not an official online UI to manage certs? I know of atleast one online client that does exactly that but it's not official. We need the process to be as simple as making a facebook account for example. I am not very knowledgeable in certificates btw, so I may be just about to have a duh'oh moment..

Edit: Forgot to mention, I can't use auto renew scripts because my sites run on shared hosting and I don't have any kind of command line access. I have to manually upload certificates via cpanel.
