If you have decided to install a free SSL certificate and you have a Plesk panel hosting server, this article is perfect for you. You can follow the steps in our article without needing any additional configuration.
First, we log into our Plesk panel and enter the details of our domain name. If you have a root account, you can follow the steps: Domains – yourdomainname.tld. From the menu that appears, click the SSL/TLS Certificates button located under the Dashboard tab.
Scroll down to the More options section on the page and click the Install button immediately below the text Install a free basic certificate provided by Let’s Encrypt.
A window will open on the left side. The menu that appears will ask you which areas you want to install the SSL certificate for. Make your selection and click the blue Get it free button at the bottom.
If there are no issues, the next stage will ask you if everything is ready and if you want to continue with the installation. You can complete your installation by clicking the Continue button.
