This article will guide you through the process of installing a free SSL certificate on your website using Let’s Encrypt within the FastPanel control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I: Login to FastPanel account:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Access your FastPanel account by entering your credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step II : Select the site:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Locate and hover over the domain name of the website for which you want to install the SSL certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the “Options<\/strong>” button that appears when you hover over the domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step III: Navigate to Site Management:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the settings page that opens, click on the “Site Management” menu located on the far right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step IV: Open SSL Certificates:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Within the Site Management tab, click on the “SSL Certificates” option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step V: Create New Certificate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Click on the “New Certificate” button to initiate the SSL installation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step VI: Select Let’s Encrypt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose “Let’s Encrypt<\/strong>” as the certificate authority and select “Normal Certificate.”
Click “Save<\/strong>” to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monitor Certificate Issuance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will observe the SSL certificate being created.
The process may take a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the process is complete, the certificate status should display as “VALID.”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Access Your Site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your website is now secured with a free SSL certificate.
You can access it normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it. You’ve successfully issued a Free SSL on your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ensure your domain is properly configured with DNS records (A record and CNAME records) pointing to your server’s IP address.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
