Certificate Management Service (Original SSL Certificate)

Alibaba Cloud’s Certificate Management Service handles the provisioning and management of SSL certificates to secure connections between websites and users. It operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning costs are tied directly to usage rather than fixed subscriptions. This approach simplifies budgeting for teams that need flexible certificate issuance without committing to long-term contracts upfront.

This service suits organizations already operating within the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem who prioritize operational flexibility over fixed costs. The main drawback is the complete absence of a free tier, which makes it less appealing for hobby projects or small-scale tests compared to providers offering complimentary certificates. You pay for every certificate issued, so scaling up requires careful cost tracking.
