MS-DOS Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hi everyone, I often see people looking to get an SSL certificate on their free hosting so I made a tutorial explaining how to get a free SSL certificate. Enjoy reading Step 1 : Order a free SSL certificate on GotGetSSL : https://www.gogetssl.com/sslcerts/free-ssl/ Step 2 : Generate Certificate Go to the page of unconfirmed SSL certificates: https://my.gogetssl.com/en/user/sslcerts/status/incomplete/ and select the ordered certificate then click on " Generate a certificate". Then click on "Online CSR Generator" and fill in the required fields : Copy the Certificate Signing Request(CSR) field and paste it on the page where you clicked on the "Online CSR Generator" link :IMPORTANT : keep the key private because it will be useful for the following Then click on "Validate CSR". Step 3 : Certificate validation On the validation page select DNS as the validation method and click Next Step. Fill in the information requested and click on "Complete generation" : Go to the cPanel and the CNAME Records menu : Go back to the page of the certificate then in the menu Domain validation copy from _ to . then put it in "SOURCE" : Do the same thing but this time you copy after CNAME to the end of the line : Do the same thing but this time you copy after CNAME until the end of the line then you put it in "DESTINATION" then click on Add. Wait 2 minutes then click on revalidate and wait 3 minutes : Step 4: Install the certificate Once validated go to the SSL/TLS page on the cPanel. Go back to the certificate page then download the CSR Code file and open it with the notepad : Then copy all the content and put it in the CSR field on the cPanel: Do the same with the private key you saved and click on "Upload Key". Do the same with the Certificate file and click on "Upload Certificate". Note: The Intermediate CA file is useless. Wait a few minutes and the SSL certificate will be installed.https://getssl.byethost33.com Do not hesitate to tell me your opinion and I will correct if there are things to correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello there, If the certificate was generated and you installed it correctly via the Vista Panel then your site should be available by using https as well. If that's not the case you can also take a look at this post that could help you generate a Let's Encrypt Certificate: https://www.byet.net/index.php?/topic/22820-lets-encrypt-on-free-hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
