Anyone giving up on this for personal sites should probably just use cloudflare to silently SSL wrap everything (acts as ssl/caching proxy)

SSL is basically required by all browsers now, but going from $10 a month to $55 a month just for SSL is insane. My business and my personal sites don't need a big back end, they just need SSL. Trying to migrate from AWS to Azure makes this an incredibly expensive proposition.

this is outrageous and plain ridiculous that Free or Shared tier web apps cannot have ssl certificates enabled. For everything that Microsoft is doing to lure in developers to use .net core and azure, this is almost as is important. I went through the whole setup for the Lets Encrypt and at the end got the message: The Service Plan is using the Shared which doesn't support SSL certificates.
It is simple: PEOPLE HAVE PERSONAL WEBSITE THAT STOPPED WORKING ON CHROME AND EDGE BECAUSE SSL IS MANDATORY.
personal websites are all sorts of portfolios and cool sites used for testing and playing with new technologies that developer share amongst themselves, and because of this reason they go back to godaddy or elsewhere because some Microsoft Azure manager is dumb enough to understand the worth of Free or Shared tiers with enabled SSL certificates.

Agreed with both commenters. I can live with ~$14 (NZD) a month for my personal site which makes no money... but not over $100 for B1. And with newer browsers flagging everything not HTTPS, this is becoming a must have for all sites at all levels.

I'm just playing with azure sites and only one at that. I have a hard time justifying going from $10.00 per month to over $50 per month to get SSL. I cant even do Let's Encrypt because of the Always On Setting is disabled. An update would b nice too.

The jump from Shared at 7.07 GBP to Basic at 51.14 GBP is way to big for a lot of tiny sites. But at the same time having google reject your site as insecure makes life hard. It would be good to find a way to secure web traffic without costing a fortune.
