Does any reputable domain registrar offer SSL certification by default? The only plans that seem excessively expensive are those that I have found, and the implementation is a little unclear. Prior to Squarespace acquiring all Google domains, I utilized Google domains, which seemed to grant it by default. As a result, I have been looking to switch to a different reseller. Regards in advance!

Distinguishing registrars from hosting providers is important. While domain registration is a service provided by many hosting companies, it is a different function. You may host with Knownhost and sign up with services like Porkbun or Cloudflare.
Choose a hosting company that lets you import your own certificates easily or offers LetsEncrypt certificates so you can use Lets Encrypt.
Once you’ve determined what you need, look through the hosts in the sidebar for some ideas.

If your host doesn’t provide free, automatically renewing SSL certificates, it’s time to switch hosts. Manually importing free certificates every three months or annually is outdated.
Free SSL is managed by your web hosting provider, not the company where you bought your domain name.
