ByetHostUser Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Hi, I am new to free hosting and SSL issues, but I heard that ACME systems can automatically streamline the entire process of obtaining, installing, and renewing SSL certificates for my site. I have two questions: (a) What are the differences between the various ACME systems (certbot, win-acme, acme.sh, acme php, etc.), and which of them are best adapted to work with ByetHost Free Hosting? (I am working on a Windows-10 laptop). (b) Will they only obtain/renew the SSL from the issuing entity (so that I still need to manually upload the SSL to the SSL/TLS section of my vPanel in ByetHost), or will they also automatically upload the SSL to my vPanel? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am working on a Windows-10 laptop). acme.sh is probably the easiest, note that you need DNS validation and cert only Certbot is the most popular one 1 hour ago, ByetHostUser said: Will they only obtain/renew the SSL from the issuing entity (so that I still need to manually upload the SSL to the SSL/TLS section of my vPanel in ByetHost), or will they also automatically upload the SSL to my vPanel? They will only obtain/renew the certificate when you do it manually. And you still need to upload it to byethost yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByetHostUser Posted October 20 Author Share Posted October 20 Thank you for this information! I understand that the remaining manual step (uploading the newly issued SSL from my laptop folder to my vPanel in ByetHost) could be automated by writing a script. But this task is beyond the capabilities of a beginner like me. Does anybody know of an existing script that could do this (on Windows 10), if I give it the required parameters (such as the folder on my laptop in which the new certificate is located, my subdomain name, etc.)? If such a script exists and is accompanied by a simple guide/tutorial, it could be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkerMan Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 No such script exists. just open the private / certificate key in a text editor on your computer and copy the values into the control panel. Should not take you more than a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
