    I agree, in addition, obtaining new clients with busy popular sites becomes difficult as you must take their site down to migrate them in and live. Then you must trust that the rename will work, or scramble to fix things after the site has gone live.

    A viable option would be to hook in the DNS TXT record validation for Let's Encrypt, and make renaming a multi-step process:

    1) Issue rename request through MWP Control Panel, receive a DNS TXT record to add.
    2) Display a button to validate record in the MWP control panel, or periodically try.
    3) Once validated, proceed with SSL installation and rename.

    I know there is a lot to those 3 steps which I just trivialized, but it would solve the problem.
