I was resigned to not using a certificate on my site and just hoping 
people (and spiders) would visit it anyway. Then I heard about Let's 
Encrypt and their free SSL service! Yay! But then I found out that my 
host blocks Let's Encrypt and I am depressed again.

I wonder why they block it....It's a valid SSL certificate, with a proper 
chain to validate the certificate as valid.

Maybe time to find a new hosting provider. :)

They say it's not as secure as their $24.99/y service. LOL

I have prepaid hosting for several years, so am kind of stuck. I am 
moving a lot of my stuff to GitHub anyway, so no biggie.

Thanks! There are tools that allow you to "walk" through the model in 
real time, but sadly my framerate is so bad they are unusable (for me).
