→Introduction: Add link to LE status page
If you're going to be testing things in ways that would involve requesting lots of certificates in a short period of time, you're encouraged to use the Letsencrypt staging CA for this purpose. Certificates generated by this CA will not be trusted by your browser, and will appear to be issued by the "Happy hacker CA", but it will allow you to validate the toolchain and workflow. To do this, add "--server https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" to the letsencrypt commands below. See [https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/testing-against-the-lets-encrypt-staging-environment/6763/1 this post] at the letsencrypt.org forums for more information.
