How do I get a free SSL certificate?
- Click the "Account Manager" button in the top left.
- Then click the SSL Certificates button.
- You will see a button labeled Free & automatic certificate from Let's Encrypt.
- After clicking it, you will see a number of checkboxes. Tick the box with just your domain name.
- Once you have done that, click the green "Save" button.
