#CPANEL LETSENCRYPT HOW TO#

Note: As a courtesy, we provide information about how to use certain third-party products, but we do not endorse or directly support third-party products and we are not responsible for the functions or reliability of such products.

Renew your certificate every 90 days - A LetвЂ™s Encrypt certificate is only valid for 90 days, so you need to generate a new certificate before the previous one expires.

In cPanel, certificates have to be managed through the user interface or cPanel API. 3) Now you can log in to your cPanel account and install your first SSL certificate. In a perfect world, Certbot should refuse to run if somebody tries to use its Apache plugin under cPanel. Certbot doesnвЂ™t understand how cPanel manages Apache, and they are incompatible.

Install your certificate and private key in cPanel. You canвЂ™t use letsencrypt-auto like that.

The third party client you use to generate the certificate will show you the different ways you can verify your domain-we recommend either file upload verification or a DNS update.

Verify domain - You must show ownership of your domain through a verification process.

Please run the following script to install Lets Encrypt on. You can find a list of available options under the Browser section. You can choose the installation method depends upon the cPanel version you are using. GoDaddy and LetвЂ™s Encrypt do not control or review these third party clients and cannot guarantee their safety or reliability. Now, go to WHM > Manage AutoSSL and select Lets Encrypt as the provider instead of Sectigo Cpanel default.

Instead, you will need to use a third party client to generate your Let's Encrypt certificate. Let's Encrypt recommends generating your certificate through Certbot but this is not supported on GoDaddy's cPanel Linux hosting.

Generate your certificate signing request (CSR).

GoDaddy does not support auto-install on Linux Hosting accounts, so you need to repeat this process every 90 days or your website will show a security error. Warning: Let's Encrypt certificates are only valid for 90 days.
