How to Install a Free Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate
Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open Certificate Authority. MediaCloud offers Let’s Encrypt integration so you can issue free SSL certificates via the control panel in any Shared Hosting plan or Managed VPS service.
Installing a Let’s Encrypt SSL is not only a cost-free solution, but you can install it yourself with just a few clicks and without any of the hassle needed for a conventional SSL. Basically, as long as your domain name is live and pointing to your MediaCloud hosting account, you can install your SSL. And once set-up, the certificate will automatically renew with no further action necessary.
Before Installing the Certificate
Please make sure any domain names (or sub-domains) you’d like to install an SSL on are pointing to MediaCloud. This is because Let’s Encrypt certificates are authenticated by placing a /.well_known/ folder in your site. If your domain’s DNS is not pointing to MediaCloud, it will not resolve, and the certificate will fail to generate.
Step One: Open the Let’s Encrypt Page
From your cPanel hosting account, navigate to the “Security” section and click on the “Let’s Encrypt SSL” button.
Step Two: Choose a Domain Name
Select the domain name you wish to issue an SSL certificate for and click the “Issue” button.
Step Three: Issue the Certificate
Tick the box for any sub-domains you’d like to include and click the “Issue” button.
Step Four: Install Complete
Your SSL is now installed. You can proceed to update your website to use HTTPS.
Step Five: Verify Your Certificate
If you’d like to verify your certificate is installed correctly, you can use a service such as SSL Shopper.
