> So I would be curious if Letsencrypt is enabling people who otherwise would not have gotten an SSL cert, as well as the extent Letsencrypt is taking away customers.
For my personal stuff, it is both. I paid for a single cert on my little server, but it hosted a handful of domains. It wasn't practical to secure the rest with only a single IP or to expensive to pile them all on a single cert. Let's Encrypt replaced one paid cert and secured 5 other domains that I otherwise wouldn't have.
This bled into work where we replaced all paid certs(except wildcards, coming soon) and secured hundreds of domains were not before.
