Install Free SSL Certificate on Godaddy | Turn HTTP into HTTPS

[@noelleanderson6681]

You have saved me so much time and hassle! I have a new client that insists on sticking with Godaddy hosting, so I'm so happy to find an easy way to install their SSL certificate. Thank you!

[@kiotr2009]

Thank you so much. Your presentation was excellent. Just one difference for me. When it was time (at 5:59 in your video) to copy and paste the certificates into the GoDaddy form, I had a total of 3 certificates that were generated. I only copied and pasted the first 2 of the 3, and then the Private Key, and...it worked. Can't figure out what that third certificate was for.🤔

[@Thirus]

Yea that has changed in the last year. Even I get 3 certificates always and the first 2 need to be copied.

The video with such a clear guideline was very much helpful. Thank you very much.

Yes, you need to follow the same procedure for subdomain too.

how to renew this? startover the same process?? do i need to wait till expiry or can i renew it before expiriation date?for eg:; after 70 days?

[@Thirus]

Yes, same process. You can renew anytime

[@shumailaislam1623]

OMG this is totally AMAZING. You're the best. I have watched soooo many videos figuring out what is wrong and comparing SSL plans which were expensive. Your demonstration was perfect. Have made my site secure finally with HTTPS. Thank you ! Just one question please. Where do i renew this certificate from after 90 days?

Super happy to hear this :) After 90 days, follow the exact same procedure. That will renew.

Process is still working. But apparently the punchsalad website isn’t active. Can use zerossl.com though

[@sofaking6642]

Thanks Great video, But this ssl does not cover all The FQDNs and you should enable force https redirect in your domains list or the http version will remain accessable.

Perfect video, thank you. But It all works on my computer but it doesn´t work on my phone and it keep showing that the website is not secure. Do you have any tips how to fix it?

[@Thirus]

May be on your phone, it’s opening the “http” site itself. You need to make changes to your “.htaccess” file to force redirect from http to https

[@thesolotrailblazer]

wow amazing. greeting from Sri Lanka.

Awesome!

[@vidyap8229]

This is amazing!! Saves me a lot of time from going through text tutorials! Thank you Shruti. Just one doubt. I have already purchased the SSL Certificate for GoDaddy to avoid the hassle of going through complex steps. It will ask me to renew next year, can I follow the same exact steps to renew or are there any extra steps which I should be following once it expires?

[@Thirus]

Very glad it helped! Don’t renew that. Let it expire. Follow the same steps in this video. This will install new SSL certificate. But you will have to do this every 90 days

how about the subdomain? should I just use the same files/certificates or create another from the start?

You have to create another using the same process.

[@ghitatad]

Hi! thanks for the very clear video, I was able to install succesfully the SSL certificate on the cpanel, however when I opened my website it still shows that the site is not secure, I am not sure why as it shows that the domain is secure on the cpanel, I even cleared the cache on my browser before opening my site again

[@Thirus]

You will have to manually type https instead of http

[@ghitatad]

@@Thirus is there a way to avoid that so it loads automatically, thank you !

[@Thirus]

Yes, you can force https in Godaddy. Check this - in.godaddy.com/help/redirect-my-website-to-https-using-cpanel-27870

[@nenarahin3771]

When I renew the certificate after 90 days following the same procedure, it shows my certificate is invalid. How do I renew the certificate? Thanks in advance

It could be an error in copy pasting the certificate text. Just make sure you copy from --BEGIN CERTIFICATE -- to the next -- END CERTIFICATE--

What do I do if I want an SSL and my domain is from godaddy, but the site is hosted by a third party and my site points there because I added the DNS to my @record in godaddy?

when i try to create folder name ".well-known" in public_html it says, well-known file is exists, but i cant find it anywhere? What would be the possible solution for this?

See if there’s a way to view hidden files and folders

[@Collins5670]

Search for .well-known(using the search field) and you'll find it. The folder is pre-installed all you have to do is double-click on the folder icon when and you'll be taken to a page where you'll find the acme-challenge folder.

No idea. But Godaddy customer support should be able to help you

[@kriskumar8640]

Thanks for the video. Do I have to repeat all the steps shown every 90 days? Or, can I skip until the verify domain and just copy and paste the actual certificates? If I have to follow all the steps every 90 days, should I clear the "acme-challenge" folder and upload the new files to it?

[@Thirus]

You need to follow all the steps again. It’s better to clear the acme-challenge folder right after installing itself. But if not, yes, clear and upload new files every time

[@lauraoneill5138]

This was sooo great, and saved my client a lot of money. A few questions; in 90 days I'll have to renew the certificate. Will I be notified by Let's Encrypt? How do I renew the certificate? Just go through these steps again ? And is there an important time to do that, such as before it expires? or wait till it expires? Thanks !

[@Thirus]

There won’t be a reminder from Let’s encrypt. I use followupthen.com to set a recurring reminder. It’s best to renew one day before. And yes, you simply have to follow the same steps to renew.
