Actually this post was more directed towards WordPress sites (on shared hosting) as I see a lot of them around here. WordPress sites basically have the plug-in option.
As for what this is for, SSL certificates are really nice to have and you can now get them for free with Let's Encrypt. I recommend anyone reading this with a domain and a VPS to learn how to use Let's Encrypt if you can't afford it from those who sell it to have a free SSL certificate for HTTPS that auto renews after several months. There's already a tutorial for that on this forum.
