Getting Free SSL/TLS Certificate from Let’s Encrypt

Let's Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt gives people the digital certificates needed to add HTTPS (SSL/TLS) to websites, for free. More info about Let’s Encrypt can be found at https://letsencrypt.org/

If you are looking for alternate paid SSL options instead of the free Let’s Encrypt, please contact our Hosting department.
