Introduction

An SSL certificate allows your website to use HTTPS, ensuring encrypted data transmission. With SiteWorx, you can install a free Let’s Encrypt certificate in just a few steps.

Step 1 – Access Domain Management

Go to SiteWorx → Hosting Features → Domains → Manage.

Step 2 – Select the Domain

In the list of existing domains, click the SSL lock icon for the domain where you want to enable HTTPS.

Step 3 – Open Let’s Encrypt

In the SSL section, click the button:

Generate All With Let’s Encrypt

Step 4 – Configure the Certificate

The configuration window will open:

• Primary Domain: the main domain is selected automatically.

• Additional Domains: you may include subdomains like www, mail, ftp.

• Mode: select Live so the certificate is valid in production.

Click Generate.

Step 5 – Confirm Installation

Once installed, you will see the generated files (private key, CSR, SSL certificate) and the certificate details in the status section.

Recommendations

• The free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate is valid for 90 days. SiteWorx usually renews it automatically.

• Verify that your site loads correctly with https://.

• Make sure to redirect all visits from http:// to https:// for better security.
