To install a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate on your domain using cPanel, follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to cPanel
- Go to your cPanel login page (usually
yourdomain.com/cpaneloryourdomain.com:2083). - Enter your username and password to access the cPanel dashboard.
Step 2: Locate the SSL/TLS section
- Once inside cPanel, scroll down to the Security section.
- Click on SSL/TLS.
Step 3: Install Let's Encrypt SSL
If your hosting provider supports Let's Encrypt, you might see an option for Let's Encrypt SSL directly. If so, follow these steps:
- Click on Let's Encrypt SSL: In the Security section, click on Let's Encrypt SSL or Free SSL (depending on your cPanel theme).
- Select the Domain: You will see a list of your domains and subdomains. Find the domain for which you want to install the SSL certificate.
- Click on "Install" next to your domain name. This will initiate the SSL installation process for the domain.
- SSL Installation: Once installed, you will see a confirmation message saying that the SSL certificate has been successfully installed.
