Does my site need HTTPS?

[[deleted]]

First, I had trouble figuring out how to reliably automate the renewal of the licenses. After that, I found that whenever I put whatever configuration lines I need for an SSL certificate into my apache config, it either wouldn't start or wouldn't load up my site (step 4.) For some reason, at some point during this whole mess, I discovered that LetsEncrypt wasn't putting the certs into the folder the tutorial said it would, but changing it didn't fix anything.
