Hello,

I went to the commander x16 website today (may 20th), Firefox warned me that the certificate is expired.

There is a similar message with Edge and Chrome.

Same here. Today (20 May 2021) is the expiration date. Time to pay RapidSSL or buy a new one!

Or use Let's Encrypt!

I was afraid the website got hacked.... thankfully only a cert expiry.

Yep, same here.

It happens, and thankfully easy to get around until it's updated.

Though the "big scary" warning screen browsers give you these days can sometimes scare off newer or less technologically inclined visitors. ☹️

We’re aware of the issue caused by our host failing to auto renew or notify us. They’re a small provider who we like to support and are looking into the cause. Let’s encrypt is not an option they offer and we are limited to what they provide. Should be fixed within an hour. Thanks.
