In this short step-by-step plan we will request a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate in the DirectAdmin panel that comes free with our web hosting packages.

Let's Encrypt is a non-profit organization that has been making it possible for a number of years to request a free SSL (https) certificate, previously this cost an amount per certificate. SSL enables a secure connection to your website, you can recognize this by the "lock" in your browser bar and the use of the https protocol instead of http.

What do you need?

  • Domain or sub-domain name
  • Webhosting with DirectAdmin
  • A valid email address

  • Navigate to https://vserver325.axc.eu/ and login with the information you received by email.
