Setting Up a Let’s Encrypt Certificate
Navigate to the website and domain you want to secure with a free SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.
Then, under Websites & Domains, select the Let’s Encrypt button.
Next, under More Options, select the option Install a free basic certificate from Let’s Encrypt and confirm your selection by clicking the Install button.
In addition to the primary domain, you can also secure the www. or webmail. subdomain using the Let’s Encrypt certificate.
If you select Issue an SSL/TLS Wildcard Certificate (Protect Wildcard Domain), you must also configure a DNS entry via zone management. Selecting the SSL/TLS wildcard certificate means that automatic renewal does not occur, and the certificate must be renewed manually.
Then click the Install button to request the certificate.
After successful verification, a message will appear stating that the certificate has been successfully installed.
