Free Encrypt-based SSL Certificates In The Control Panel

We've enabled free, Let's Encrypt-based SSL certificates in the Control Panel.

It was launched by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG), a public-benefit organization sponsored by the Mozilla Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Cisco Systems, with the aim of making HTTPS encryption both affordable and user-friendly.

Let's Encrypt certificates are:

• free to use: each domain name owner can obtain a trusted certificate at absolutely no cost;
• automatic: the certificate setup and renewal procedures are fully automated; no human intervention is needed;
• simple to use: there are neither payments to make, nor validation emails to respond to;
• secure: Let's Encrypt serves as a platform for implementing the latest security practices;
• fully transparent: all issued certificates are publicly available for anyone to view;
• open: the issuance and renewal protocol is published as an open standard that can be adopted;
• 'self-regulated': Let's Encrypt is a joint community effort, beyond the control of any organization;

What are the differences between regular and Let's Encrypt SSLs?

Just like regular SSL certificates, Let's Encrypt certificates offer basic SSL encryption, i.e. they give site visitors assurance that they are exchanging information with the domain that is visible in the address bar.

Encrypt certificates are trusted by all major browsers.

How do I enable a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for my site?

Go to the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel. Click on the Edit Host icon in the Actions column:
Then click SSL certificate on the drop down menu.
